Cable Hip Adduction

Pro Tip

If you don't have the attachment shown in the video, you can always improvise with a regular pulley handle, but it is not ideal.

How To

  1. Stand upright adjacent to a cable machine, with your attached leg raised and a hand holding onto the pole for support.
  2. With your other leg firmly planted on the ground, exhale and bring your attached leg in towards your planted leg.
  3. Continue until your attached leg passes your grounded leg, keeping the attached leg straight.
  4. Inhale and allow your attached leg to move away from your body, returning to the starting position.
  5. After all reps are completed, switch sides and repeat the movement. 10 reps prescribed means you should perform 10 reps on each side (20 total).
