Standing Hip Abduction
Muscles worked:
Sides of hips (gluteus medius), especially on
the standing/support side.
Position:
Stand to left or right of machine –
facing outward
Accessory:
Hand Grip over ankle
Pulleys:
Squat Pulley Frame
Before You Begin:
Remove Seat and Leg Extension
Key Points:
• Do not use this exercise for losing fat from
hips. It will not make hips smaller. Use it to
develop hip strength and stability.
• Use a small range of motion. More is not
better.
• Keep spine straight and hips level. Try not to
raise hips when raising leg
to the side.
• Stand to one side of platform with
one side near machine. Slide
hand grip to ankle furthest from
machine (outside leg).
• Stand up straight, lift chest, tighten
abs and maintain a slight arch in
lower back.
• Adjust position so there is some
resistance in cables.
• Slowly move attached leg out to
side away from pulley (30-45º),
keeping hips and spine still.
• Slowly return to start position
without relaxing muscles.

groups). Also, the outside of hip
