Hip Adduction Machine (Standing)

How to do it

1. Stand tall beside the machine and attach the ankle cuff to the leg closest to the frame, holding the support bar for balance.
2. Brace the core and keep the standing leg slightly bent, keeping the hips level and facing forward.
3. Sweep the working leg across the front of your body toward the opposite side against the machine's resistance.
4. Drive the movement through the adductors, keeping the leg straight and the torso still as it crosses the midline.
5. Pause briefly at the crossed position, then return the leg back out to the start with control.
6. Exhale as the leg sweeps across and inhale on the return, completing all reps before switching sides.
