Cable Hip Abduction

Stand side-on to the pulley with the cuff around your outer ankle, torso upright and hips level. Push the working leg away from the cable, out to the side, without letting your torso lean the opposite direction to cheat the range — that lean is the tension finding an easier path than your hip. Move slowly on the way out and resist the pull back in just as deliberately; the cable's resistance is highest at the end range where the leg is furthest from your body, which is exactly where most people stop trying. Keep your standing knee soft and your hips square to the front.
