Stand next to the machine. Turn sideways to him. Attach a strap to the cable, which then fix on the ankle of the leg closest to the simulator. Move away from the machine at a sufficient distance to perform the leg abduction. Shift your body weight onto your free leg (no strap). Relax your working leg as shown. This will be your starting position. As you exhale, move your working leg, placing it in front of the foot of the other leg. The muscles of the inner thigh and adductors are tensed. As you inhale, slowly return your leg to its original position. Perform the desired number of repetitions, then change legs and repeat the exercise. Variations: You can use the calf machine to perform this exercise. As an alternative to the cable of the lower block, you can use weights or an expander.
