Seated Resistance Band Leg / Hip Abduction
- Seat yourself comfortably on a solid chair, with your back straight and unsupported. Keep your feet planted about hip-width apart.
- Place a resistance band around your legs, at the base of your thighs, just above your knees
- Gently grip the chair seat under your thighs if this feels more comfortable for you.
- Keeping your feet grounded, move your legs away from each other at a controlled rate
- Continue doing so until you’ve extended the distance between your knees by 6 – 8 inches and then control the pressure as you bring you legs back together.
