Loop-Band Standing Hip Adduction

1. If using a cable machine, attach the cable to your ankle or use a low pulley. If using a resistance band, secure it to a low and stable object and loop it around your ankle. Stand perpendicular to the cable machine or the anchor point of the band.

2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, with the working leg closest to the machine or anchor point.

3. Engage your core and hold onto the machine or another stable surface for balance if needed.

4. Keeping your working leg straight but not locked, and your foot flexed, move the working leg across the front of your standing leg as far as you can comfortably go. The images demonstrate the range of motion for the exercise.

5. Once you have reached your full range of motion, pause briefly.

6. Slowly return your leg to the starting position.

7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.

Ensure the movement is controlled and focused on utilizing the inner thigh muscles, rather than swinging the leg or using momentum. Adjust the resistance to suit your level of strength and fitness.
