Video of the Week- Bent Leg Adduction with a Pilates Ring

Over the last few years we have begun to perform some isolated groin work using a Pilates Ring. If you had asked me five years ago about this I would have told you that it was a waste of time.

However, I have come to the conclusion that in hockey players the adductors are often in the "long and weak" category. Players overstretch and never strengthen. In this exercise we try to close the ring and hold for 1-2 sec. We also perform the same exercise at 90 degrees of hip flexion. These can be done as warm-up/ activation or in the last tri-set of a workout
