The Hip Abductor exercise targets the gluteus medius and minimus, essential muscles for hip stability, balance, and lower body strength. Typically performed on a hip abductor machine, you sit upright with your back against the pad and knees pressing outward against resistance. Slowly push your legs apart, pause briefly at the peak contraction, then return with control. This movement isolates the outer glutes and thighs, helping to improve posture, athletic performance, and injury prevention. Gymcheq highlights hip abductor training as a key accessory for sculpting rounded glutes and enhancing overall lower body function.
