ABDUCTORS

Machine Hip Abductor

BeginnerMachine

A seated machine exercise that isolates the hip abductors as you push your knees apart. The fixed path and built-in stability let you concentrate on driving the muscle rather than balancing the load. It's a straightforward way to strengthen the outer hips and glutes.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Sit upright in the abductor machine with your lower back pressed into the back pad.

  2. 2

    Bend your knees to 90 degrees and set your feet on the pedals with your knees against the outer pads.

  3. 3

    Brace your core to keep your spine neutral and still.

  4. 4

    Press your knees outward against the pads in a controlled arc.

  5. 5

    Continue until you reach full outward range.

  6. 6

    Return your knees to the starting position under control and repeat.
