Band Lying Hip External Rotation (Band)

• Loop a resistance band around your ankles, ensuring it's tight enough to provide resistance but not so tight that it restricts your movement.
• Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
• Keeping your feet together, slowly rotate your knees outward against the resistance of the band.
• Slowly bring your knees back together to the starting position, maintaining the tension in the band. Repeat these steps for the desired number of repetitions.

• Controlled Movements: When performing the exercise, make sure to move your knees apart in a slow and controlled manner. Avoid quick, jerky movements which can strain or injure your muscles. Also, ensure that you maintain tension in the band throughout the exercise.
• Keep Your Back Flat: One common mistake is arching the back off the floor. This can lead to back pain or injury. To avoid this, make sure your back remains flat on the floor throughout the exercise. Engage your core to help maintain this position.
• Maintain Hip Alignment: Another common mistake is letting the hips tilt or rotate during the exercise. This can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and potentially cause injury. To avoid
