How to do it

1. Begin by lying on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor at shoulder width, and arms extended by your sides.
2. Lift your hips off the floor to form a straight line from your shoulders to your knees, engaging your glutes and core.
3. While keeping your hips elevated, move your knees outwards in a controlled manner and back.
4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Keep your core engaged to maintain stability and support your lower back.
• Ensure your hips remain elevated and level throughout the exercise to maximize glute activation.
• Perform the leg abductions slowly and with control to avoid any jerky movements and enhance muscle engagement.
