Leg abductions with a low pulley

The so-called "pendulum" simulator offers a lot of room for "slack." Therefore, pay close attention to ensure that your movements are slow and with a pause at the top. The video shows an option with a crossover.

Nuances and mistakes

1. Bring the working leg over the supporting leg. This will more effectively shorten the outer thigh surface. Therefore, step away from the block at arm's length to allow room for the crossover.

2. Choose a weight that allows you to perform at least 10 – 12 repetitions.

3. This crossover exercise can also be done while seated. Simply sit on the floor and perform everything in the same way.

4. The leg should be straightened at the knee throughout the entire exercise.

5. At the top position, it is advisable to emphasize and pause for a second. This will increase the effectiveness of the exercise.
