How to: Resistance Band Leg Lift
- Secure a resistance band to a stable object at ground level.
- Anchor the band around one ankle and stand at a suitable distance.
- With feet shoulder-width apart, lift the leg attached to the band straight out to the side.
- Lower the leg back to the starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
Common Mistakes
- Rounding the back instead of maintaining a straight posture.
- Lifting too quickly, which reduces effectiveness.
- Not engaging the core during the lift.
Modifications
- Perform with a lighter resistance band to reduce difficulty.
- Do the lift without a band to learn the motion before adding resistance.
Tips
- Keep the resistance band secure to prevent it from slipping during the lift.
- Engage your core to maintain stability throughout the movement.
- Control the movement both up and down to maximize muscle engagement.
