The Abductor and Adductor
Purpose: The abductor is designed to isolate the muscles that spread the legs apart; the adductor works the muscles that bring them together.
Pros: The machines definitely allow you to feel the burn in the target areas.
Cons: Despite the perception (mostly among women) that these machines “tone” flabby thighs, they don’t actually apply enough resistance to burn many calories. Because they don’t allow the legs to stabilize a load (as a squat or lunge does), the abductor and adductor don’t build much muscle or strength. Plus, opening and closing your legs in a public gym is just asking for trouble.
Verdict: Bad. If you want strong, athletic-looking legs you need to squat, lunge, and deadlift. Those simple movements will train yhe thighs’ inner and outer areas much more efficiently and without compromising your manhood.
