How to do it
Execution:
  1. 1
    Lie on your side with an ankle weight on the top leg.
  2. 2
    Rest your head on your lower arm and keep your torso stable.
  3. 3
    Lift the top leg out to the side without rotating the hip.
  4. 4
    Lower it back down under control.
Tip: the range is short (~45°) — prioritize the glute contraction.
