Hip Abduction machines isolate and strengthen the muscles on the outside of the thighs. Learn how to perform this movement with the team at Fitness Institute!
Machine: Life Fitness Hip Abduction
To begin, sit down in the machine and place knees inside the pads. It is recommended you hold onto the handles (Figure 1), sit upright and brace through the core.
Drive the knees out until you reach desired distance (Figure 2), then, with control, retract knees slowly, returning to the starting position.
Remember to seek the advice of your fitness trainer, medical and/or allied health professionals, if you are new to exercise or have an injury or medical condition to consider.
