The adductors are one of the most commonly neglected and misunderstood muscle groups in the body. As such, adductor and 'groin injuries' are all-too-common.

Search for exercises and you'll most likely find some type of stretch, side-lying leg lift or squeezing something between your knees when you squat, which is exactly why adductor injuries are a problem!

You see, the adductors are typically strained when you're running and the muscle is stretched (lengthened) under load; said another way - during an ECCENTRIC contraction.

The problem with the exercises I mentioned above is that they don't develop eccentric strength! Nor do they work the adductors in various positions of the hip, so if you're in one of these positions you won't have the strength to resist the forces that cause strains.

In this workout, we're going to cover 5 #unique #adductor #techniques to strengthen, lengthen and train proper function to make them strong, mobile and resilient.

TODAY'S WORKOUT (Tuesday, May 19, 2020)
1. Lateral Leg Drop [05:04]
2. Iso Adductor Lateral Shifts [11:45]
3. Adductor Side Bridge [18:40]
4. Adductor Lunge [25:35]
5. Hip ER Pushup [30:38]

You probably have no idea what most of these exercises are and that's a good thing because you know you'll be working something new, which is good for your body AND brain!

LIVE SCHEDULE (EST i.e. Toronto)
- Tuesdays from 8-830pm
- Fridays from 1-130pm (workout then Q&A if time allows)

Perfect for those stuck at home like me due to the pandemic i.e. most of the free world.

Join and you might discover muscles that you didn't know you had, then you'll learn to use them to develop control through your full range of motion, keeping your joints and body strong, stable and healthy.

NEW HERE?

If you're new to my channel, we're all about restoring function via improved mobility, strength and movement control, with the goal of helping you get back to and keep doing the active things you love.

If you're dealing with a particular issue, search the YouTube channel with a keyword e.g. shoulder impingement, low back pain, knee pain, tennis elbow, hunchback, tight hips or whatever it is you want to fix and you'll likely find exercises you can start using right away for your specific problem.

Since you might not be able to do your workouts or sports because you're stuck inside, now is the perfect opportunity to work on little nagging pains or injuries that might have ended up in an injury had you kept training or playing through it (like most people do - me included).
