Forward/Back Leaning Hip Abduction

Personal Trainer explanation: A banded exercise for those that want to train the glutes when equipment is limited or unavailable. Hits all parts of the glute muscles -- the gluteus maximus, minimus, and medius.

  1. While sitting at the end of a bench, insert both legs through a loop band and bring it up to just below the knees.

  2. Set your feet just outside of hip width apart.

  3. Lean forward by hinging at the hip, then drive the knees out wide to stretch the band.

  4. Then, lean back and do the same.

  5. Perform 10-30 repetitions before changing your body lean.
