What it works

Strengthens the hip adductors and improves pelvic stability. This helps with balance, direction changes, and lower body control.

What it should feel like

You should feel it in your inner thigh, the adductors. It should not be felt mainly in your lower back or by swinging your hips.

Most common mistake

A common mistake is using hip swing to move the weight. Keep your pelvis steady and move only your leg with control.
