How to do it
- Begin on all fours, placing your hands directly under your shoulders and knees below your hips. Loop a resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees.
- Engage your core to maintain stability, keeping your back flat and neck neutral.
- Slowly lift one leg to the side, keeping it bent at a 90-degree angle and maintaining tension on the band.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then return your leg to the starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
