Band hip adduction

GlutesBandBeginner

Perform the band hip adduction to strengthen your hip muscles and improve stability.

  1. Attach a resistance band to a sturdy anchor point at ankle height.
  2. Stand with your side facing the anchor, placing the band around the ankle farthest from the anchor.
  3. Lift your outer leg away from your body, keeping it straight.
  4. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.

How to perform the Band hip adduction

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Band hip adduction using your band.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your glutes.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
