How to do the Band Hip Adductions

Steps

1. Anchor a band around a solid post or other object.
2. Stand with your left side to the post, and put your right foot through the band, getting it around the ankle.
3. Stand up straight and hold onto the post if needed. This will be your starting position.
4. Keeping the knee straight, raise your right legs out to the side as far as you can.
5. Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired rep count.
6. Switch sides.

Tracking it in OneRep

Add the band hip adductions to a routine and your previous weight and reps sit beside every set, so the decision to add load is made by what is already on the screen rather than by memory. Exercise history and volume trends are one tap away, and logging works offline for the gyms where signal does not reach.

Because OneRep tracks food on the same timeline, a stall on this lift can be read against what you were actually eating that month — which is the difference between a programming problem and an eating one. More on that in tracking progressive overload without a spreadsheet.

Where the instructions come from

The steps above come from free-exercise-db, a public-domain exercise dataset. They are general guidance, not coaching for your body: if a movement hurts, stop and get someone qualified to look at it.
