Cable Abductors

Change View
Purpose: Develop the thigh and side abductor muscles.
Equipment variations: Cables with a padded cuff attachment.
Starting position: Attach the padded cuff to your right ankle. The ring of the padded cuff should be positioned toward the midline (center) of your body. Stand with your left side facing the cable pulley machine. The cable should run across the front of your body. Allow the weight attached to pull your foot across the midline of your body. Keep your legs straight throughout the movement.
Performance: Using a slow and controlled movement, move your right foot upward across your body in a semicircular arc. Pause at the top of the movement. Return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
