Gym Weight Circuit - The Inner Thigh

Margie Weiss: My name is Margie Weiss and this is the circuit. This machine is called the adduction machine, common term for that inner thigh muscle. First we have to set up the machine depending on how flexible your hips are. We have a joint here that you lift up and open out and then once it releases, it catches so you can go in and out in a same position every time.

What she is doing, is pressing inward -- this is where the resistance is, and then as she is releasing she is coming nice and slowly on the way out. She is sitting up nice and tall, the belly is into her backbone, her chin is neutral, and she is breathing out as her legs come in and as they return. The amount of weight is going to be determined by the repetitions you are going to do.

A lot of times women especially on this machine like to do between 10 and 20 repetitions, again depending on how much weight you have. So, this is for the inner thigh, we have an opposing machine for the outer thigh.
