#Info – Seated Hip Abduction Machine
The Seated Hip Abduction Machine targets the outer thighs and glutes. To maximize benefits, ensure your back is straight and core engaged, avoiding momentum to lift the weights. A common mistake is using excessive weight, which can lead to poor form. Start light to focus on muscle contraction. Adjust the seat and pads for comfort and proper alignment with your knees. For beginners, use higher reps with lower weight to build endurance. Advanced users can increase resistance or incorporate pauses at peak contraction for added intensity. Always warm up beforehand to prevent injury.
