LIBRARY / HIP ABDUCTION

Hip Abduction (Digital Resistance)

Also called Digital Resistance Hip Abduction

How to do it

Attach an ankle cuff to the low digital-resistance cable and stand tall while holding a support. Move the cuffed leg outward from the hip without tilting your pelvis, pause while squeezing the outer hip, then return slowly across the resistance. Complete the set and repeat on the other side.

Setup

Attach a secure ankle cuff to the low digital-resistance cable and stand side-on holding a stable support. Brace the planted foot, keep the pelvis level, torso tall, and working toes forward.

Where you should feel it

At the outer hip and upper glute during the lift and loaded return, with the core, inner thigh, and planted calf maintaining balance. Keep the pelvis from tilting.

When to use it

Use for programmable unilateral outer-hip volume, eccentric control, and side-to-side comparison. Favor 10-20 reps per side.
