Main muscles

  • Adductor Brevis

What it is

This banded movement specifically targets your adductors, the muscles of your inner thigh. You'll use a resistance band to create the pull, isolating these muscles for focused strength. It is an effective way to improve stability and strengthen the muscles responsible for bringing your leg inward.

Technique tips

  • Bring your working leg across your body's midline.
  • Keep your core muscles tight for better balance.
  • Control the band as you slowly return to the start.
  • Maintain a straight knee on your working leg.
  • Exhale as you pull your leg across your body.
  • Grip a stable support for added balance if needed.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
