Adductors
The adductors — inner-thigh muscles — draw the legs toward the midline and stabilise the pelvis during lateral and split patterns on the reformer. Controlled adductor work supports side splits, frog in straps, inner-thigh lifts, and prop-assisted squeezes without losing hip organisation. Adductor emphasis appears in exercises linked from this page, including standing side splits, strap frog patterns, magic circle inner-thigh work, and advanced split progressions. The goal is steady inner-thigh engagement rather than gripping or forcing range. Build foundation with supported inner-thigh presses and shorter split ranges before adding spring tension or dynamic split choreography.

FAQs
What do the adductors do on the reformer?
They draw the legs toward the midline and help stabilise the pelvis during side splits, frog patterns, and inner-thigh prop work.
Are adductor exercises safe for tight hips?
Many inner-thigh patterns can be helpful when kept in a pain-free range. Start with supported squeezes and shorter split ranges before advanced choreography.
Which exercises work the adductors on this site?
See linked exercises on this page, including side splits, frog in straps, inner-thigh lifts, and magic circle press patterns.
