Description:
  1. Assume side lying position with 30 degrees knee flexion and upper elbow on floor.
  2. While keeping feet together separate at the knees.  Resist the tendency to want to move at the hips and instead make sure all movement is coming from the gluts.
  3. Try placing your clients hand over the Glut med muscle so they can focus on engaging this muscle to initiate the movement.
  4. Rather than adding band resistance around the knees progress movement by placing the upper leg into more hip extension which should further engage the glut med muscle.
  5. Make sure movement is pain free.  Stop immediately if deep hip pain.
Common Error(s): Inappropriate momentum
