Instructions for Proper Form

Setup:

  1. Attachment: Attach an ankle cuff to a low pulley cable machine.
  2. Position: Secure the cuff around the ankle of your inside leg (the leg closest to the machine). Stand sideways to the machine, holding onto it for support.

The Movement:

  1. Pull: Keeping your leg straight, use your inner thigh muscles to pull your leg across the front of your standing leg.
  2. Squeeze: Squeeze your adductors at the end of the range of motion.
  3. Return: Slowly and with control, allow your leg to return to the starting position.
  4. Repeat: Complete all reps on one side before switching the cuff to the other ankle and facing the opposite direction.

Tips:

  • Keep your torso upright and stable; avoid leaning to help move the weight.
  • The movement should be slow and controlled to isolate the inner thigh muscles.
  • Start with a light weight to master the form.
