This is an exercise to target gluteus medius. It is perfect for improving hip or pelvic stability. Step 1 – Stand at 90 degrees to the wall, just about six inches away from the wall, with both legs touching the floor. Step 2 – Raise the leg closer to the wall to create 90 degrees angle between the thigh and lower leg. Next, push the bent leg towards the wall. This will fire the gluteus medius muscle of the opposite leg to ensure posture stability. Hold in the position for 5 seconds. Repeat 5 times each time 3 sets in a row Once-daily 5 days a week
