Abductor Muscle Strength Drills

Featuring Jackson Sayers, B.Sc. (Kinesiology)

Duration: 51 seconds

With the inner thigh on the mat it's a very simple motion, simply got our leg up over top of the leg, other leg straight down through.

Foot into a 90 degree flex position and from there we simply come up and down. What you're going to find is that the flexibility of the hip is going to limit the amount of space you have in here, so you want to make sure that before you do this exercise.

Have a short stretch of your hips, upper body's relaxed, stomach's in, legs nice and straight, and simply it's an up and down motion with the inner groin muscles.

You'll find that over time your flexibility and the amount of lift you can get out of your leg will increase. This is a very important motion for both the internal groin muscles of the hip, in conjunction with the stomach and the outer hip muscles that you're going to use to support this.
