Primary muscles: Abductors

How to do it

  1. Loop a belt, rope, or band around one of your feet, and swing that leg across your body to the opposite side, keeping the leg extended as you lay on the ground. This will be your starting position.
  2. Keeping your foot off of the floor, pull on the belt, using the tension to pull the toes up. Hold for 10-20 seconds, and repeat on the other side.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the IT Band and Glute Stretch from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Abductors volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
