Strength, balance, symmetry. Three important parts of fitness, and particularly for the lower body. Here are some of my fave Hip, mostly Adductors, exercises.
45 degree side lunge
Ankle weight hip adduction
Lateral squat
Machine hip adduction
Rotary Hip machine adduction
Side lying bottom leg lift
Squat and medial cross over kick
Standing cable hip adduction
Step and lateral kick
Wide stance deep squat
NOTE: Perform with fullest range of motion available. It is not generally recommended to train hip adductors often or heavy. Details available in books at www.marcdthompson.net/fitness-books/fitness-books
