Abductor and adductor muscles are muscles that
move in directions that people normally dont
think about. When approaching fitness, generally
people stick with exercises that go up and down
or forward and back such as squats, deadlifts,
bench press and pullups. However, the body
doesnt just move in a forward/backward up/down
direction. It also moves side to side, and that
is where the adductor and abductor muscles come
in. Abductors take a limb away from the body and
adductors bring it to the body. These muscles
contribute to the stability of other lifts, and
their strength can help you keep from getting
injured. For example, if you do squats and your
knees duck in during the motion, then your hip
abductors are weak and you arent lifting as well
as you could be.

The way to strengthen these muscles is by doing
things that activate them, obviously. You do
that by moving within their ranges of motion.
Lateral shuffles, side lunges, fire hydrants and
band walks will all work the abductor muscles,
and will in turn help to stabilize the joints
that they are connected to. These exercises
arent the glamorous, traditional ones like bench
press or squats, but they are arguably just as
important. The key thing to remember is that
abductor and adductor muscles arent necessarily
the most aesthetic muscles, but they are there
and they are important. A person will never be
able to truly reach their fitness goals if they
have deficiencies in the stabilizing muscles,
because you will always be able to lift more or
run more efficiently if the muscles are properly
developed.
