Hip Adduction, illustrated

How to do it

Setup

Sit tall, pads inside the knees, legs open to a comfortable stretch.

Steps

  1. Squeeze the knees together against the pads.
  2. Hold the closed position for a beat.
  3. Open slowly back to the stretch.

Common mistakes

Starting wider than the groin allows: set a range you control. Slamming shut: smooth squeeze. Torso rocking: sit tall, hands on the grips.

Breathing

Exhale on the squeeze, inhale opening.
