Laskowski, M.D.: The standing hip abduction is an exercise you can do with resistance tubing to work the hip muscles. Specifically, the standing hip abduction targets the hip abductor muscles, which are located here, on the outside of the hips. This exercise helps promote strength and stability in the hip muscles when walking or running.

The closer you place your foot to the looped end of the tubing, the greater the resistance. Tighten your abdominal muscles and slowly move your entire leg outward, maintaining balance and alignment with the other leg.

When you're doing the exercise, remember to maintain proper posture. This means that you're not leaning too far forward, too far backward or too far to either side. Keep your movements smooth and controlled, and remember to keep your abdominal muscles nice and tight.

Hold on to a stationary object for balance if needed. To make the exercise a bit more challenging, place your foot closer to the looped end of the tubing.
