  • Stand next to a sturdy stationary object, such as a table leg or door frame.
  • Position yourself with the inside of your ankle resting against the object, so that your legs are straight and feet together.
  • Shift your weight slightly onto the opposite leg for balance, keeping your standing leg straight but not locked.
  • Press the inside of your ankle against the stationary object, engaging your inner thigh muscles (adductors). Maintain an upright posture, ensuring your hips stay level and your core is engaged.
