How to perform
1
Sit in the machine with your back straight and firmly against the backrest. Adjust the seat height and select a light weight.
2
Place your feet on the footrests and your knees on the outside of the pads. Adjust the starting position of the pads so you feel a light stretch in your inner thighs.
3
Slowly and controllably squeeze your legs together until the pads touch. Pause for a moment and focus on the inner thigh contraction.
4
Slowly and controllably return your legs to the starting position. Avoid letting the weight stack slam down.
