The hip external rotation exercise helps to strengthen your hip muscles. Lie on your side with your head supported by your hand and your elbow on the pillow. |

Lift the top leg so that the feet are a handsbreadth apart. |
 |
Maintain the feet in this position while you roll the top knee outwards, opening the space between the knees. |
|
Relax back into the starting position, keeping the feet apart and the knees apart. |
|
Repeat the external rotation from this abducted position... |

...5 times. Change sides and repeat the sequence another 5 times. |
