Step by step

How to do the Adductor

  1. 1

    Lie face down with one leg on a foam roll.

  2. 2

    Rotate the leg so that the foam roll contacts against your inner thigh. Shift as much weight onto the foam roll as can be tolerated.

  3. 3

    While trying to relax the muscles if the inner thigh, roll over the foam between your hip and knee, holding points of tension for 10-30 seconds. Repeat with the other leg.
