3 Top Tips for Adductor Hip Stability (Side Kick Assessment)
Think your hips are stable? This simple-looking test might prove otherwise...
Most people breeze through split squats or lunges… but the moment you ask their medial hip to control movement in the frontal plane, everything falls apart.
This drill does two things at once:
👉 Exposes hidden imbalances in the adductors and medial hip stabilisers
👉 Doubles as a brutally effective exercise to build strength where you’re weakest
The setup looks straightforward, stand next to a box and kick your leg over it; but the real story is in what happens at the standing hip. Smooth control, balance point, and pelvic mechanics reveal more about your system than you’d think.
Give it a watch to see how to set it up, what to look for, and why it might be the missing link in your squat mechanics...
