Continue in one direction for 30 seconds. Follow by stepping the left foot to the right side too, so that your knees are once again under your shoulders. Step out to the right side with your right foot. Keep your knees in line with your toes, stick your butt out slightly while tucking your hips under to protect the lower back. Place hands in a prayer shape in front of your chest, and keep your legs shoulder-distance apart. While standing, put both feet through the resistance band. Perform exercise on both sides of the body. Without lifting your feet, open your top thigh and lift the left knee towards the ceiling. Bend both of your knees and stack feet on top of each other. 
Place a resistance band around both of your thighs. This is the same setup as the previous exercise. 
Keep right arm under your head, and left arm on your hip. lying hip abduction is a calisthenics and pilates exercise that primarily targets the glutes and to a lesser degree also targets the abs, outer thighs and obliques. Start with your right side on the ground, and keep hips in line with the rest of your body.
Remember to perform the exercise on both sides of your body. This is as far as the hip abductors can be engaged before it starts to involve other hip muscles instead. Lift your left leg, keeping it in line with your hip. Bend your bottom (right) knee, and straighten out the left. Place a resistance band around both legs at thigh level. Use your right arm under your head for support, and place your left arm on your left hip. We use this action every day when we step to the side, get out of bed, and get out of the car. Start with your right side on the ground, and keep your hips in line with your body. Hip abduction is the movement of the leg away from the midline of the body. Side-Lying Hip Abduction with Resistance Band Be sure to keep your feet on the floor, but they can tilt outward slightly. Pull your knees away from each other and feel the resistance from the band. Step feet wider than hip-distance apart and point your toes outward slightly. Step both feet into a resistance hip band and pull it up around your lower thighs. Activation of the other muscles in the ABD-ER and CLAM exercises exceeded that of GMed, which might indicate the exercises are less appropriate when the primary goal is the GMed activation and strengthening.Seated Hip Abduction with Resistance Band The ABD exercise is preferred if targeted activation of the GMed is a goal. For the CLAM exercise, the AHF (54.2 ± 25.2%) was more active than the TFL (34.4 ± 20.1%) and GMed (32.6 ± 16.9%) but was not different from the GMax (34.2 ± 24.8%). The GMax (25.3 ± 24.6%) was less active than the GMed and TFL but was not different from the AHF. Three 1-way, repeated-measures analyses of variance indicated differences for muscle activity among the ABD (F(3,57) = 25.903, P <. Surface electromyography (root mean square normalized to maximal voluntary isometric contraction) was recorded over the GMed, TFL, AHF, and GMax. A pressure biofeedback unit was placed beneath the trunk to provide positional feedback. Twenty healthy runners (9 men, 11 women age = 25.45 ± 5.80 years, height = 1.71 ± 0.07 m, mass = 64.43 ± 7.75 kg) participated.Ī weight equal to 5% body mass was affixed to the ankle for the ABD and ABD-ER exercises, and an equivalent load was affixed for the CLAM exercise. To compare the electromyographic activity produced by the gluteus medius (GMed), tensor fascia latae (TFL), anterior hip flexors (AHF), and gluteus maximus (GMax) during 3 hip-strengthening exercises: hip abduction (ABD), hip abduction with external rotation (ABD-ER), and clamshell (CLAM) exercises. Understanding the activation of muscles about the hip during strengthening exercises is important for rehabilitation. 
Lower extremity overuse injuries are associated with gluteus medius (GMed) weakness.
