Make certain you are in a comfortable position.

1. Force your thighs together.

2. Relax your muscles and slowly return to the starting position.

3. Begin the next repetition.

Notes: This exercise places emphasis on the adductors (pectineus, adductor longus, adductoe magnus, and gracilis). Weight loads are generally 20-50 percent heavier than with cable adductions, but these heavier loads will inhibit range of motion.

1. Lift the leg attached to the cable so that is crosses in front of your other leg. Lift as high as you comfortably can.

2. Return your leg to the starting position and repeat the next repetition.

3. When all repetitions with one leg are complete, perform all repetitions on the other leg to complete a full set.

Notes: This exercise works all the adductors and is excellent for building the inner thigh.
