How to do it
The side hip abduction works the gluteus medius, lying down.
Lying on your side, the bottom leg bent for stability, the top leg straight in line with the body.
Raise the top leg, foot parallel to the floor, to about 45°, then lower slowly.
Keep the leg slightly behind the body's axis and do not let the pelvis roll backward.
