How to do it

  1. Lie on your side with the elbow placed directly under the shoulder, similar to a side plank position.
  2. Place the upper leg on a bench with the inside of the foot or ankle resting on it.
  3. Lift your hips and hold your body in a straight line while keeping the lower leg off the floor.
  4. The exercise strongly activates the adductors of the upper leg while also challenging the core and hip stabilizers.
