Firmly grip the handles of the machine, and secure your body against the pads, with the lever pad resting against your lower thigh.
Slowly raise your top leg as high as you can, keeping your torso stationary and using your hip and thigh muscles to perform the movement.
Hold the position at the top for a moment, then slowly lower your leg back to the starting position.
Repeat this motion for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides and perform the exercise with the other leg.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: When performing the lever side hip abduction, move your leg out to the side in a slow and controlled manner. Avoid the temptation to use momentum to swing your leg out and back. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but can also lead to injury. Proper Range of Motion: Lift your leg as high as comfortably possible, ideally until it's parallel with the floor. However, don't force the movement if you can't reach this height, as this can lead to muscle strain. A common mistake is not lifting the leg high
