Common questions

What can I do instead of the Hip Adduction Machine?

The closest substitutes are the Butterfly Yoga Pose, Cable Hip Adduction and Side Lying Hip Adduction. Each trains the adductors as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Hip Adduction Machine programming.

Is there a bodyweight alternative to the Hip Adduction Machine?

Yes — the Butterfly Yoga Pose trains the adductors with no added weight. Progress by adding reps, slowing the tempo, or adjusting leverage.

Can I just rotate these with the Hip Adduction Machine?

Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the adductors first.
