How to Do Hip Adductions Against Band

  1. Attach a resistance band to a low anchor point, such as a rack or sturdy object.
  2. Stand sideways to the anchor point and loop the band around the ankle of the leg closest to the anchor.
  3. Engage your core and glutes, and keep a slight bend in the “free” leg.
  4. Pull the banded leg inward across your body against the resistance while keeping your upper body stable.
  5. With control, return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for reps, then switch legs.

Commentary

This exercise targets the hip adductors, helping strengthen the muscles of the inner thigh. It’s a great alternative if you don’t have access to a cable machine.

The resistance increases the further you stretch the band, which challenges control and stability throughout the movement.
