Common questions

What can I do instead of the Resistance Band Seated Hip Abduction?

The closest substitutes are the Side Hip Abduction, Hip Abduction Machine and Side Bridge Hip Abduction. Each trains the abductors as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Resistance Band Seated Hip Abduction programming.

Is there a bodyweight alternative to the Resistance Band Seated Hip Abduction?

Yes — the Side Hip Abduction trains the abductors with no added weight. Progress by adding reps, slowing the tempo, or adjusting leverage.

Can I just rotate these with the Resistance Band Seated Hip Abduction?

Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the abductors first.
