How to do it
The standing cable hip abduction targets the gluteus medius.
Stand sideways to the low pulley, attach the strap to your furthest ankle and hold onto the machine.
Move your leg out to the side, with your knee straight and foot facing forward, then return slowly while crossing slightly in front of the other leg.
Your torso stays upright: do not lean to lift your leg higher.
