Adductors Exercises

The inner thigh, pulling your leg toward the midline. They are heavily involved in wide-stance squatting and in changing direction, and they are a common site of strain in field sports.

Wide-stance squats, sumo work and lunges load them without any isolation at all. Direct adduction work is worth adding if you play a sport with hard direction changes.
