Resistance Band Glute Kickbacks


This exercise is designed to strengthen your gluteus minimus as well as your other abductor muscles.

Start by attaching a resistance band to a stationary object. I’ve used the dining room table leg, the couch or any piece of heavy furniture.  I’ve even wrapped the band around a lanai post! 

With the object on your left side, attach the other end of the resistance band to your right ankle. From here, stand up straight with your legs together and knees slightly bent. Move your right leg out and away from your body as far as you can go and hold for several seconds before returning to your original position. Repeat until fatigued.  Turn around and switch legs, then perform the exercise again!
