Abduction or adduction of the legs in the straddle position ► abduction / adduction

Partner work

Exercise both muscle groups ► note the change of position
(= double the time required; for lesson planner see Organisation Strength: Info button Execution)

The partners sit frontally opposite each other in a straddle position. One exerciser places their legs on the inside and pushes them outwards (load on the abductors), while their partner counteracts this by pressing their legs together (load on the adductors). The positions of the legs are then swapped.

Attention:
Always listen to/respond to your partner (adjust pressure/intensity).

Lighten:
Lower counter-pressure from your partner.

Harden:
Stronger counter-pressure from your partner.
