How to perform it
Adjust the seat height so that your knees are at a 90-degree angle. Sit on the machine with your back against the backrest and your feet on the footrests. Place your hands on the side handles for stability. Engage your abductors and slowly push your legs apart, away from the midline of your body. Pause for a moment at the end of the movement, then slowly bring your legs back together to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
