Lie face up on an exercise mat on the floor. Bend your knees at about 90 degrees and place the soles of your feet together. Your workout partner holds your knees. This is the starting position. With your workout partner holding your knees, squeeze your knees together. Your partner will prevent you from putting your knees together. Continue the squeeze for about 10-20 seconds. Breath normally. Slowly relax your muscles. Your partner gently pushes your knees towards the floor. Breathe normally. Repeat for the required number of repetitions.

There are four groups of muscles that cause movement in the hip joint. They include the gluteal group, the lateral rotator group, the adductor group, and the iliopsoas group. The prime group for hip adduction is, obviously, the adductor group, a group of muscles on the inner hip joint.
