1. Place a resistance band just above your knees. Lie on your back with your arms by your sides, knees bent, and feet flat on the ground about hip-width apart.
2. Push through your heels to lift your hips off the ground, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement to perform a glute bridge.
3. While your hips are raised, push your knees outward against the resistance band to perform the abduction. Your glutes should be engaged and feel the resistance.
4. Hold the outward knee position briefly, then bring your knees back to the starting position while keeping your hips elevated.
5. Lower your hips back to the ground to return to your starting position.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
When performing the exercise, ensure your movements are controlled, especially when returning to the original position to prevent the band from snapping your knees back together too quickly. Maintain a consistent tension on the resistance band throughout the exercise.
