Abductor Press Exercise
Description
Abductors are the muscles that move your arms and legs away from the center of the body. Abductor press exercise particularly works on strengthening of the abductor muscles of lower body including gluteus, hamstrings, thighs and lower body muscles. Using a ring or resistance band during the exercise increased the challenge and intensity of the workout. It also increases focus, coordination and balance that help you in producing certain results from your workouts. Abductor press exercise also works for your lower body, hips and butts.
Step 1
Place the ring around your ankles, press your thighs away from you and extend your legs. Keep your arms to your sides to support yourself. Keeping your belly scooped in, press your navel down to the back of your spine. Press outward with your legs as though you’re trying to rip the ring apart for a count of five breaths, then release.
Step 2
For a more challenging exercise, lower the ring to mid-calf. If you feel any pressure in your knees, that means the ring is improperly positioned. Perform this exercise for 60 seconds.
