Hip Abduction

This exercise strengthens the muscles of the outer, upper leg.

How to do:

Sit or lie in a Hip Abduction Machine. Position your legs together for the beginning of the movement.

Exhale and return your legs to the starting position keeping the weight under control at all times.

Variations:
