Standing Banded Hip Rotation

Set up with a band anchored below chest height to a rack or other anchor point. This is best with a long flat band, but can be done with two lighter loop bands put together. Wrap the band around your shoulders, standing on the leg holding the end of the band and softening into an athletic stance. Keeping your standing leg knee stable, rotate internally and externally on your standing leg. You should feel the work in your standing leg hip. Variation 1 (as shown): Keep your torso stable throughout the movement. Variation 2: Integrate torso rotation, initiating the movement with your hips and following through with the shoulders.
