Plies, with free weights, is a good way to hit that abductors inside thigh, which is a good carry all muscle for every sport that involves lower body. You want to make sure you find your pure active turn out, in second position, knees behind the toes and really you're going to squeeze, this muscle is just an extension of the glute and the back of the leg, and we're going to focus more in here by having our legs turned out, in second position, versus ten toes forward like a squat. We want that weight to hang in opposition of the movement, slight bend in the elbows, keep it right there next to the pelvis, and release, contract, and release. Of course, the heavier weight you do the more resistance you have, you can go pretty heavy on your weight with these. Again, making sure that your knees stay behind the toes and, it's just to the point, where you're contracting and releasing right from that inside thigh to the groin. Hardest point of attachments, so keep a slight contraction down and up with breath, ten to fifteen reps, one to three sets.
