Place your hands on the sides of the chair or bench for support. Engage your abductors (outer thigh muscles) and slowly push your knees apart, against the resistance of the band. Pause for a moment at the end of the movement, then slowly bring your knees back together. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
