Stand on the platform of the multi-hip machine. Adjust the arm of the machine so that it is down at about the 5:00 o'clock position (when doing your left leg) and about the 7:00 o'clock position (when doing your right leg). Put your outer leg against the arm of the machine. While holding on to the handle bars abduct your leg (that is, move the leg away from your body) as shown. Exhale as you move the leg away and inhale as you return to the start position. Do not allow muscles to relax before next repetition.
