Start off behing the bosu ball and lunge forward with one foot being placed on the center of the ball part o the bosu ball. Next push off with that foot to come back to the starting position and now lunge forward with the opposite foot. Remember to stay as low as possible during the lunge to create the best muscle pump.

Hip Abduction:
This exercise can be performed easily by grabbing a tension cord, or using a cable machine. Have the setting or tension cord set at ankle height. Standing with feet together swing foot attached inwards towards the opposite foot. Only swing with controlled movement dont throw the leg.

Same set up as abduction except perform the swing outwards, away from the opposite foot.
