Hip Adduction in Standing

This exercise is Hip Adduction in Standing and its aim is to strengthen the muscles on the inside of your hip.

Start by wrapping a resistance band around a solid object such as a table leg. Put one leg inside the resistance band loop, and whilst standing on the opposite leg and holding onto an object for balance, bring your leg towards your body and if possible across your body.

If you find this exercise too difficult you may find the Isometric Hip Adduction exercise easier, there is a video of this exercise on our playlist.

If you find this exercise too easy, you may want to increase the level of resistance band or increase the number of repetitions to make it a little more challenging.

Follow the suggested duration, or reps and sets in your rehab programme as a guide.
