Exercise Benefits

The side plank hip abduction is a great exercise that you can do to target the outer thighs. The outer thigh muscles pull your legs away from the center of the body and play an important role in keeping your knee and hip joints stable. Doing hip abductions not only helps to strengthen and sculpt your outer thighs but can also improve your balance and stability.

Sets And Reps

Start with 2 or 3 sets of 10 to 16 repetitions on each side. Depending on your goals, you can choose different modified versions of this exercise. If you want to work your outer thighs and challenge your core at the same time, do the side plank hip abduction with both legs extended and keep the knee off the floor. If you just want to focus on strengthening your outer thighs, lie on your side and hold a dumbbell on top of your working thigh.
