Primary Muscles Used
Leg Adductor Instructions
- The seated abductor is a leg machine that specifically targets your adductors. In other words, your inner thighs. This exercise is often performed before or after the seated abductor which targets the outer thighs.
- Start by bringing the pads together so that you can sit and place your feet on the foot rests and your knees outside the knee pads.
- Now move the pads out as far as comfortable until a mild stretch is felt in your inner thighs. This is your starting point.
- Keep your back on the seat, brace your core (reducing your lower back arch) and place your hands on the handles.
- Bring your knees back together (pretty much in line with your hips).
- Stop about an inch before the weight hits the weight stack.
- Repeat.
Tim's list of benefits for the Star Trac Leg Adductor
- The hip abductors are closely related to the core muscles and are crucial for balance and athletic activity. Due to extended time spent sitting during the day, many people develop weak hamstring muscles.
- When these muscles become weakened your knees can bow out, causing knee pain as time goes on without this imbalance being corrected. The Star Trac abductor will correct this problem.
- This is a great exercise for tightening up the inner thighs.
- This is a good exercise for working the inner thigh without putting pressure on your spine or knees.
