Why This Matters for Boxing

Adductor strength for a stable base during lateral movement. Your inner thigh muscles (adductors) are key for maintaining a solid stance while moving sideways — without them, your stance widens and you lose power.

How To Do It

  1. 1Lie on your side with your top leg on a bench.
  2. 2Lift your hips off the ground using your top leg and core.
  3. 3Your bottom leg hangs free.
  4. 4Hold the position for 20 seconds.
  5. 5Switch sides.
