ABDUCTORS

Cable Hip Abduction

BeginnerCable

An isolation move that trains the glutes and hip abductors with steady cable tension. Because the resistance stays constant through the whole arc, the muscles stay loaded from start to finish, building hip strength and stability.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the cable to its lowest position and fasten the ankle cuff so the cable pulls from your inner ankle.

  2. 2

    Stand side-on to the machine with your feet together.

  3. 3

    Sweep the cuffed leg out away from your body, keeping it straight; hold something for balance if needed.

  4. 4

    Bring it back under control to the start and repeat, then switch sides.
