Okay this exercise clip is going to be the side raise. Now you can use one of the pieces of tubing but this is one of my favorite toys. It's just a loop band. You're going to hold onto something. Take it around both ankles. Okay? Now what you want to do is standing in an upright position, hold on to something for support and you're going to extend the outer leg. Now you're going to be surprised. You're not going to be able to extend it very far. And of course there's different levels of loops. This is a red which is like a medium. So you're in an upright position. This is going to work the hip, abductors in through here. It's also going to help with your balance by stabilizing on the opposite leg. And extend that leg out to the side. This is good for strengthening the hips and toning the hips. I would start of with sets of ten to twelve and trust me you'll probably feel these the next day. But these are great to carry around in your suitcase if you're on a trip and you don't have a lot of space.
