Hip Abduction (Machine)

How to do it

1. Sit in the machine with your back against the pad and the outside of each thigh against a leg pad.
2. Set the start position so your legs are together, and choose a weight you can control.
3. Grip the handles and press your thighs outward against the pads until your legs are open as far as comfortable.
4. Pause briefly at the widest point, feeling the contraction on the outside of the hips.
5. Return under control to the starting position without letting the weight stack slam down.
6. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
