Pulley Adduction Leg Standing Overview

The pulley adduction leg standing workout is designed to primarily engage the leg muscles.

Pulley Adduction Leg Standing Tips

  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, maintaining a slight bend in your knees to engage your leg muscles.
  3. Grasp the handle of the pulley with both hands, keeping your arms extended in front of you and your core tight for stability.
  4. Initiate the movement by slowly pulling the cable towards the midline of your body, using the strength of your legs to adduct and bring them closer together.
