Leg Adduction Standing High Instructions

  1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides.
  2. Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
  3. Shift your weight onto your left leg while keeping your right leg straight.
  4. Slowly lift your right leg out to the side as high as you comfortably can, while maintaining control.
  5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your inner thigh.
  6. Lower your right leg back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
  7. Repeat the movement with your left leg.

Leg Adduction Standing High Tips

  1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, keeping your spine tall and your core engaged. This will provide a stable base for the exercise and help you maintain proper form throughout.
  2. Shift your weight onto one leg, slightly bending the knee. This will activate the muscles in your standing leg, preparing them for the movement and ensuring a solid foundation.
  3. Slowly lift your other leg out to the side, keeping it straight and maintaining control. Imagine a resistance band pulling your leg away from your body, engaging your adductor muscles to perform the movement.
  4. Avoid leaning your upper body in the opposite direction of the lifted leg. Instead, keep your torso upright and centered, focusing on the adductor muscles doing the work. This will maximize the effectiveness of the exercise and prevent unnecessary strain on other muscle groups.
  5. As you lower your leg back down, resist the urge to let it drop quickly. Control the descent, feeling the engagement in your adductors as they lengthen. This eccentric contraction will further strengthen and tone your muscles.
