Add to my week
Build a free week around it — no account needed until you save.
How to do it
Sit on a bench side-on to a low pulley, with the working leg farther from the stack. Attach the cable to that ankle and position it so the cable pulls the leg inward. Keeping your pelvis on the bench, move the knee and foot outward together, then return slowly.
Form cues
- Keep your pelvis still.
- Control the return.
