Cable hip adduction

Adductors

• Target muscles: legs, glutes
• Equipment: gym machine
• Level: intermediate

How to do it

1. Attach an ankle cuff to the leg closer to the machine and stand sideways to a low pulley.
2. Step away so the cable is taut and your working leg is out to the side.
3. Rest your hand on the machine frame for support, torso upright, core braced.
4. Keeping your leg straight, sweep it across your body, past your standing leg, toward the midline and slightly beyond.
5. Hold for a second, then return your leg out to the side under control.
6. Complete the desired number of reps, then switch legs.
