Hip Adduction Machine

How to do it

1. Sit in the machine with your back against the pad and the insides of each thigh resting against the lever pads.
2. Set the pads so your knees line up with the machine's pivot before selecting an appropriate load.
3. Brace the core to keep the pelvis still and the low back flat against the pad throughout the set.
4. Squeeze the thighs together against the pads, driving the movement through the adductors.
5. Pause briefly once the legs come together, then let the pads spread back apart with control rather than letting the stack drop.
6. Exhale as the legs press together and inhale as you return, keeping the tempo smooth for every rep.
