Hip Abductions...You're Doing It WRONG

  • When trying to target the glues in this commonly performed exercise, many people pay no attention to positioning of the leg and therefore completely lose the benefits of this movement. Whether you are in physical therapy or a booty building workshop, the goal for hip abductions remains the same, to work the glute medius and minimus to abduct the hip. Performing these incorrectly as shown here will completely shut off the glutes and instead, the hip flexors will take over and do all the work.
    Follow these simple guidelines to make sure the right muscles are doing the work and share this one with your friends to save them from wasting their time performing hundreds of useless reps in the gym.

    Great advice. I immediately noticed the difference. I didn't realize that I had been compensating with my hip flexors. As soon as I rotated that toe down, I felt the burn on rep 10 and in the right spot!

    The 'don't lift the leg WAY up to here' part was great, you can instantly see the butt cheat back and shirk it's duty. Thanks!

    can I load these with say a plate or a dumbbell on the side of my thigh to add resistance? is this the alternative when your gym doesn't have a hip abduction machine?

  • @HeyIntegrity
    @HeyIntegrity Год назад

    Doesnt external rotation activate the piformis instead?
    Also What do you think about clamshells. As long as we internally rotate, they should be similar to the side lying abduction?

      Those are the same thing. the muscles of the butt control the hip, if you are trying to target the hip flexors there are much better ways to do it

    Really? I am very surprised. The way my physical therapist told me to do it is to point my heel slightly down with my leg slightly behind my body. And, added to the clamshell, it provides me great relief from my sciatica.
