Exercise Profile

Elastics Hip Adduction Standing Overview

The elastic hip adduction standing workout is designed to primarily engage the adductor muscles.

The elastic bands are used to provide resistance, targeting the adductor muscles during the exercise.

By standing and using the elastics, the adductor muscles are isolated and effectively strengthened.

While other muscles may be activated, the focus remains on the adductor muscles throughout the workout.

  3. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
  4. Keep your knees slightly bent throughout the exercise.
  5. Step your right foot out to the side, maintaining tension on the elastic band.

  7. Repeat the movement with your left foot, stepping out to the side and returning to the starting position.

Elastics Hip Adduction Standing Tips

  1. Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, and place the elastic band just above your ankles. Ensure that the band is secure and not too loose, as you want to feel resistance throughout the exercise.
  2. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and maintain proper form throughout the movement.
  3. Take a step to the side with one foot, maintaining tension on the elastic band. As you step, focus on pushing your knee outwards, engaging your adductor muscles. Imagine you are pushing against a resistance to really activate those muscles.
  4. As you step back to the starting position, control the movement and resist the urge to let the band snap back. This eccentric contraction will further challenge your adductor muscles and enhance their strength and stability.
  5. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other leg. Remember to maintain a slow and controlled pace throughout the movement, emphasizing the mind-muscle connection with your adductors.
