Chair Seated Abduction

Seated Abduction on a Chair

Positioning:

1. Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor and hip-width apart.
2. Keep your back straight and your shoulders relaxed.
3. Place your hands on your knees or by your sides for stability.

Movement:

1. Slowly move your legs outward to the sides, engaging your hip muscles. Make sure to keep your feet on the floor.
2. Hold the position for a moment at the widest point of the movement.
3. Return your legs back to the starting position by bringing them together.
4. Repeat this movement for 10-15 repetitions, ensuring you maintain control throughout the motion.
5. Focus on squeezing your hip muscles as you move your legs outwards and inwards.

Tips:

- Keep breathing steadily throughout the exercise.
- Avoid leaning back or using your hands for momentum; the movement should come from your hips.
- Start with a few sets and gradually increase as you build strength.
