If you are a beginner, please remove the timing and go slow.  This video is the fourth in a series where our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, will share exercises using a stability ball. Today's tip focuses on adductors and abductors. Your adductors are bigger than your hamstrings and only slightly smaller than your quadriceps, which means that they can generate incredible power. It also means that they can pull bones out of alignment if they get tight. Another job that your adductors AND abductors do is rotate your hip inward. If either of them gets tight they can pull your hip inward, putting strain on the piriformis muscle. Do not ignore your adductors and abductors. Reinforcing all these muscles helps protect your hips, pelvis and knees from injury. Grab a ball and a mat and join her!
