Step by step

How to perform it

  1. Place a loop resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees. Lie on your side with your legs bent at a 90-degree angle and your feet stacked together.
  2. Rest your head on your bottom arm and place your top hand on the floor for stability.
  3. Keeping your feet together, lift your top knee as high as you can without moving your pelvis or back, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
  4. Slowly return your knee to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other side.
