Hip Abduction and Adduction

In this video Cindy is demonstrating Sitting Hip Abduction and Adduction.  This exercise strengthens the muscle on the outside of the hips and inner thighs.

  • Sit up away from the back of your chair with your feet on the floor
  • Firm your stomach, but be sure not to hold your breath
  • Move your knees apart and then together
  • Add a small pillow between your knees to squeeze for 3-5 seconds on moving your knees back in for an "isometric" contraction of the inner thigh muscles

Perform 5-10 reps, 1-2x/day

The number of exercise repetitions and sets per day are just a suggestion and should be adjusted, as needed, to fit your fitness level and tolerance
