Muscles Used	Primary: Hip Adductors
Starting Position	Lying on your left side hips and knees in an extended position.
Description	Keeping the legs in the extended position, raise the left leg up, as far as possible, pause momentarily, then recover to the starting position.
Spotting	Kneeling down behind the lifter, place the left hand on the lifter's left thigh and the right hand on the side of the ankle. Apply resistance at these two points throughout the exercise.
Points To Emphasize	1. The lifter's body should remain in a stable position throughout the exercise, without rolling the hips backward. 2. To exercise the right side, roll over on the right side of the body, the spotter should apply pressure at the same points on the opposite leg.
