How to do the TRX Hip Abduction
Attach the suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above your head.
Lie down on your back on the floor, directly under the suspension trainer.
Place your heels into the foot cradles of the suspension trainer, ensuring they are secure.
With your arms spread wide on the floor for support and your core engaged, press your hips upwards into a bridge position. Your body should form a straight line from shoulders to heels.
Keeping your hips raised, move your legs apart by abducting your hips, stretching the suspension trainer straps.
Pause when you've reached the maximum comfortable abduction.
Slowly return your legs back together to the starting position while maintaining the bridge.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure throughout the movement that the core is engaged and the lower back does not sag. Adjust the difficulty by moving closer or further away from the anchor point to change the resistance.
