Side Plank Hip Abduction With Resistance Band
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff from Elite Performance Institute demonstrates the Side Plank Hip Abduction with band—a brutal hybrid that smokes the glute medius, obliques, and entire lateral core simultaneously.
🔥 Benefits of Side Plank Hip Abduction:
- ✅ Strong emphasis on glute medius + deep core/obliques
- ✅ Elbow-under-shoulder modified side plank + banded top-leg lift
- ✅ Controlled abduction—no swinging, ankle & knee stay aligned
- ✅ Second side almost always feels harder (normal!)
- ✅ One of the most effective lateral-chain drills you’ll ever do
