Best Beginner Abductors Workouts
About
Beginner exercises are designed with simplicity in movement, the use of approachable equipment, and a focus on minimizing the risk of injury for individuals with less than 1 year of experience.
These exercises prioritize learning proper technique while using a slightly reduced weight to ensure effectiveness and safety.
The abductors, small muscles located around the hips, play a crucial role in movements that involve moving the thigh away from the body.
Common exercises targeting this muscle group include those utilizing Hip Abduction Machines, lateral lunges, and leg raises.
