Instructions
1. Secure a resistance band to a low, stable structure. Loop the other end of the band around your ankle.
2. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart, facing away from the anchor point. The banded leg should have slight tension at the start.
3. Engage your core to maintain balance and stability throughout the exercise.
4. While keeping the other leg straight and stable, flex the banded hip by raising the knee in front of you as high as possible without compromising your posture.
5. Make sure to control the movement without any jerky motions. The raise should be smooth and deliberate.
6. Slowly lower the leg back to the starting position, maintaining tension on the band throughout the descent.
7. Perform the desired number of repetitions and then switch legs.
Ensure that you start with a suitable resistance level for the band that challenges the muscles without compromising form. Adjust the resistance as needed as you progress.
