This exercise targets the gluteus medius (deeper buttocks muscle) muscle.

Instructions

  1. Tie the exercise band into a loop and place that loop around something sturdy such and a heavy table or base of a railing. Place one foot inside the loop. Stand far enough away so that there is some tension in the band.

  2. Bring the leg out to the side, without losing your posture. This is not meant to be a high kick. Slowly return to the start position. Repeat 10 - 12 times, then turn around and switch legs.
