The Bodyweight Side Lying Leg Adduction primarily targets the inner thigh muscles, helping improve hip stability and balance. Lying on your side, you lift your lower leg against gravity, activating the adductors. It's a great exercise for toning and strengthening the inner thighs without equipment.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your side with your bottom leg straight and top leg bent in front of you.
  2. Support your head with your hand and place the opposite hand on the floor for stability.
  3. Engage your core and lift the bottom leg upwards while keeping it straight.
  4. Hold briefly at the top, then lower it back down with control.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of reps, then switch sides.
