GLUTE BRIDGE ABDUCTION

This is a modified version of the conventional GLUTE BRIDGE exercise. Start by looping a mini band or tying an exercise band around the thighs just above the knees. Keep the heels planted on the ground at roughly shoulder distance apart. Lift the pelvis to bridge the body and to contract the glutes. Keep the spine neutral and core braced. At the peak of the movement spread your knees apart while keeping the heels planted to stretch the band. Slowly come back to neutral and lower the pelvis.
