Cable Hip Abduction
Step 1: Attach ankle strap to a low pulley, then attach it to your other ankle bone (leg furthest away from cable)
Step 2: Stand so that you are facing perpendicular to the resistance and place the hand closet to the cable machine on the machine hand rest
Step 3: Stand far enough from the machine to ensure tension on the cable and keep your posture aligned
Step 4: Slowly and with control abduct the hip, moving the outer leg laterally away from your body
Step 5: Push your leg away from the midline of your body as far as possible, until your hip position can no longer be maintained or is beginning to be compromised
Step 6: Pause, slowly lower the leg, then repeat.
Step 7: Complete 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps on each leg
