How to do it

The hip adduction exercise helps strengthen the hip flexor and thigh muscles.

Steps :

1.) Start by standing alongside a cable pulley stack and attach a cuff to the pulley near your ankle.

2.) Step away from the stack holding onto the stack for support.

3.) While standing firm on the foot not attached to the cable, slowly abduct (pull away) your cuffed ankle in front of your stabilizing leg and back.

4.) Repeat and switch ankles.
