Copenhagen Adduction Exercise

Description

Lie on your side with the elbow placed directly under the shoulder, similar to a side plank position. Place the upper leg on a bench with the inside of the foot or ankle resting on it. Lift your hips and hold your body in a straight line while keeping the lower leg off the floor. The exercise strongly activates the adductors of the upper leg while also challenging the core and hip stabilizers.
