Topic description

Sideways position on the left side of the body, with the legs pointing diagonally backwards. The upper (right) leg is supported on the lower leg (or slightly lifted off the lower leg). An elasticated band is stretched between the legs (place the band around the thighs slightly above the knees). The lower arm supports the head, the upper bent arm supports the upper body by placing the hand on the floor at the level of the navel. From this position, spread the upper (slightly bent) leg apart (stretch/stretch the band further) to perform an external rotation in the hip. Then lower the upper leg back to the starting position.

Attention:
For greater intensity, do not rest the upper leg completely on the lower leg (always at a slight angle).

Lighten:
Choose a rubber band with less resistance.

Harden:
Choose a rubber band with more resistance.

Material

1 mini-band
