Seated Machine Hip Abductions

Approach and sit in an abductor machine.

1. Slowly force your legs apart as far and comfortably as possible.

2. Relax your muscles and return to the starting position and repeat the next repetition.

Notes: Different positions on the machine place emphasis on different muscles. For example, if the seat is inclined, you will work the gluteus medius. If the seat is upright, you will work the gluteus maximus. Vary the inclination of your torso in each set by bending at the waist.

This exercise will increase muscle tone in the upper hip, rounds the buttocks and makes your waist look slimmer.
