CalixQuadruped Hip Abduction
Description
Distribute your body weight evenly on all knees and arms. Keep the torso stable, with the abdomen engaged and the lumbar spine straight without twisting the back (imagine: a glass on your lower back won't fall off). Raise one leg outwards without twisting it.
Pay attention to the right angle at the hips and knees. Always train both sides of the body.
To increase resistance, a resistance band can be used.
