Outer Thigh Machine

Outer thigh machines vary from gym to gym. Some will be combined with the inner thigh machine, where you pull a level/adjustment to change the direction of resistance. Others will be independant and start with the legs together, resisting you from pushing out

Teaching points

Position yourself in the machine, with the legs together, supported on the outside of the thigh
Sit with the back against the back rest, ensuring there is a curve in the lumber spine
Push outwards to separate the legs, as far as you are comfortable
Slowly allow the legs to return to the centre
