About

Use the hip abduction machine to strengthen your outer glutes and hip muscles.

How to Standing Hip Abduction Machine

Starting Position

1. Stand on the machine and secure your torso to the pad or handle.

2. Place the leg you will be moving on the pad and keep the supporting leg on the floor.

3. Keep your upper body upright and engage your core.

Proper Form

1. Balance on the supporting leg and push the pad to the side to spread your legs.

2. Hold at the point where the side of the hip contracts for 1 second.

3. Slowly control and return to the starting position.

4. After the designated number of repetitions, switch legs and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you spread your legs, and inhale when you return.

Precautions

1. Please keep your pelvis level so that your upper body does not tilt together.

2. Instead of forcing yourself to stretch to the maximum, proceed within a range that does not cause pain.

3. If you feel a lot of tension in your lower back, please reduce the weight.
