Instructions
1. Stand beside a cable machine with the ankle strap attachment around your outer ankle, or tie a resistance band around your ankle and fix the other end to a stable object at ankle level.
2. Stand straight with your core engaged, holding onto the machine or a stable support for balance.
3. Shift your weight to your inside leg (the one closest to the machine or anchor point).
4. Slowly move your strapped or banded leg across the front of your body, keeping the knee straight and foot pointed forward.
5. Once you have reached the maximum comfortable range of motion, slowly return your leg to the starting position.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets, and then switch sides to work the opposite leg.
If performing the exercise without additional weight, simply engage the adductors to draw one leg towards the midline of your body while standing on the other leg. Focus on controlling the motion and maintaining stability throughout.
