Lever Side Hip Abduction

Expert Advice

Keep your torso stable and avoid swinging; the movement should be controlled and originate from the hips.

Select the appropriate weight on the leverage machine and adjust the pad to your height.
Stand with the machine's pad against the outside of your upper thigh.
Grip the handles for stability and slowly abduct your leg, moving it away from your body.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.
Complete the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
