How to do the Lever Leg Raise Abduction

  1. Position yourself on the lever machine with your back rested against the pad.

  2. Secure your torso using the provided pads or handles to ensure that you are stable.

  3. Place your legs together beneath the lever pad.

  4. Brace your core and slowly raise your legs up together, keeping them straight or with a slight bend at the knees to avoid hyperextension.

  5. As you raise your legs, begin to separate them in a controlled abducting movement, engaging your hip abductors and glutes.

  6. Continue to raise and abduct your legs until you reach a comfortable but challenging angle. Be careful not to strain or overextend your hips.

  7. Pause briefly at the top of the movement before bringing your legs back together and slowly lowering them down to the starting position.

  8. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring that you maintain control and proper form throughout the exercise.

Remember to adjust the resistance level to match your capability and gradually increase as strength improves. Keep movements smooth and controlled to maximize the benefit and reduce the risk of injury.
