Side line adduction works the inner part of the thigh. With this we are going to use elastic tubing and depending on the thickness will depend on the variable resistance, taking our back leg in front and our goal is to work the bottom leg, shooting that energy out through the heel with a slight bend in the knee you want to square up on your hips, square your elbow right underneath your shoulder, think of a strong core right here and lift and lower that bottom leg, contracting in the inside thigh, resisting with the tubing tied around your ankles and mine is a little long so I am just pulling on it back here to make sure that I can get resistance on a full contraction up and down so you are working the inside thigh when you are lifting and lowering, thinking of nice tall posture, 10 to 15 reps, 3 sets and if you prefer you can always lay your head down on your arm.
