Exercise Description

Cable hip abduction builds strong glutes and improves hip stability. This move targets your outer glutes to give you better balance and a stronger lower body.

How To

1. Attach ankle strap to low cable pulley and secure around your outer ankle 2. Stand sideways to machine with working leg furthest from pulley, hold cable tower for support 3. Keep your core tight and lift your leg out to the side against cable resistance for cable hip abduction 4. Squeeze your glutes at the top and hold for one second 5. Lower your leg back down slowly and repeat cable hip abduction movement for all reps

Form Tips

• Keep your torso straight during cable hip abduction - don't lean away from the machine • Lift your leg only as high as you can while keeping good form • Focus on squeezing your glutes, not just moving your leg during cable hip abduction • Move slowly and controlled - don't swing your leg

Common Mistakes

• Leaning too far away from the machine during cable hip abduction instead of staying upright • Lifting your leg too high and losing control of the movement • Using momentum to swing your leg instead of controlled muscle movement in cable hip abduction
