Step by Step

This is a good exercise for the Hip internal rotators, which are commonly weak and not targeted from traditional gym exercises.
Like any exercise you should only do the exercise if it is pain free during, after and the next day.
Tie an exercise band in a tight loop around your ankles and lie face down on the floor
Next bend your knee to 90 degrees and have you knees slightly outwards from hip width
Next pull the feet apart creating a stretch to the band
Keep your knees at 90 degrees throughout the movement and keep your knees fixed in the same spot on the floor as to pivot at the knees.
Once you can’t take the feet any further out to the sides then slowly return to the start position and repeat.
To make the exercise harder increase to a higher band resistance level
For strengthening you should perform 6-10 reps to fatigue
You should perform 3-5 sets with 3 minutes rests
This session can be done 2-3 times per week
For endurance you should perform 15-25 reps to fatigue
You should perform 3-5 sets with no more than 30 second rests
This session can be done 2-3 times per week
