How to: Resistance Band Foot External Rotation
- Begin seated, with your legs extended and the resistance band secured around your forefoot.
- Keep your knee stable and slowly move your foot outward against the resistance of the band.
- Pause for a moment at the end of the motion, before returning to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the knee to move inward.
- Using too heavy a band, leading to poor form.
