Abduction and adduction of the legs in squat position (left)

Individual work

Squat/knee bend position with an upright upper body (buttocks slightly higher than knees), arms supported on the hips, an elasticated rubber band stretched at shin height in a hip-width stance. Move forwards using lateral adjustment steps (left leg forwards to a very wide, deep squat position, right leg backwards to a hip-width squat position).

Attention:
Always keep your squat as low as possible.

Lighten:
Bend your legs less (higher basic position/squat); do not use an elasticated band.

Harden:
Additional weight (on the shoulders).

1 elasticated rubber band

1 weight vest/sandbag ► to make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
