Seated Back-Leg Leaning Abduction

Setup

• Sit on the machine and adjust the pads so they are flush against the outside of your knees.

• Set the weight stack to an appropriate resistance level.

• Ensure your feet are placed firmly on the foot rests.

• Keep your back pressed firmly against the backrest throughout the entire movement.

Movement

• Grasp the handles on the side of the seat for stability.

• Slowly push your knees outward against the resistance pads while maintaining an upright torso.

• Pause for a brief moment at the peak of the contraction, feeling the activation in your outer hips and glutes.

• Return to the starting position in a controlled manner, resisting the urge to let the weight stack slam.

• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
