The abductors are responsible for the lateral movement of the leg, that means the abduction of the hip. This exercise mainly isolates the abductors and involves the abdominals, glutes and ischios in a secondary way.
Very useful for the squat and the deadlift, reinforced abductors will help you to gain stability.

- 4. Continue your series by repeating the movement.
