How to perform Cable Hip Abduction (Toe in)

1. Fit an ankle strap to the far leg and connect it to a low cable pulley.
2. Stand sideways with the uncuffed foot planted and hold the machine upright for balance.
3. Hinge slightly forward and keep a small inward turn of the working thigh so the toes point slightly inward.
4. Move the cuffed leg out to the side while keeping your pelvis level and your torso steady.
5. Stop the outward motion before it requires a hip hike or torso lean.
6. Bring the leg back under control, preserving the slight toe-in position, and repeat on the other side.
