Partner Resistance Exercises: Abductors & Adductors

Video Transcript

"We're going to show you here how to work with a partner and apply resistance for the outside and inside thigh. And so sitting up nice and tall, energy shooting right up to the top of the head. We're going to resist out with your hands above the knee joint, and she's going to try to resist out against my hands, press out and then she's going to, I'm going to reverse the resistance and put my hands right inside the thigh there away from the knee joint and she's going to resist in, pull in, keep pulling, all the way in. And then press out, for outside, away from the mid line of the body, come out. And then reverse and come in. And again press out, and she's just using her body weight and I'm using mine. Make sure when you spotting that you've got one foot out in front of you to support. Keep your spine nice and tall, the one who is doing the resisting as well as the one who is getting the resistance applied to them. So that is good for working the outside and inside part of the thigh, eight to ten reps for beginners, ten to twelve and up to the point of fatigue. And making sure that you switch the resistance for outside and inside thigh."
