Instructions
1. Loop a resistance band around your legs, positioning it just above your knees.
2. Lie on your side, propping your upper body up on your forearm, ensuring that your elbow is directly below your shoulder for proper support.
3. Stack your feet one on top of the other and lift your hips off the ground to form a straight line from your head to your heels. This is the side plank position.
4. While maintaining the side plank position and keeping your core engaged, raise your upper leg by abducting at the hip against the resistance of the band. Ensure you keep the leg straight without bending at the knee.
5. Pause briefly at the top of the motion with your leg lifted, then slowly lower it back down to the starting position.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides and repeat with the other leg.
7. Maintain controlled movements throughout the exercise. Avoid letting your hips drop or sag, and focus on using your glutes to lift your leg against the band's resistance.
