Lever Seated Hip Adduction

Category
Upper Legs
Target
Adductors

Hip adduction trains the inner thigh muscles that most lower-body programs barely touch, since squats and lunges emphasize the glutes and quads far more than the adductors. It's a useful addition for anyone doing lateral or rotational sports where inner-thigh strength matters for stability.

How to Do the Lever Seated Hip Adduction

  1. Adjust the seat height and position yourself on the machine with your back against the backrest.
  2. Place your feet on the footrests and grasp the handles for stability.
  3. Engage your adductor muscles and slowly bring your legs together, squeezing your inner thighs.
  4. Pause for a moment at the peak contraction, then slowly return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked
