EMS training of the adductors

Woman doing lunges to train her adductors with EMS

Most people think of the inner thighs when they hear the term adductors, but that's not entirely true. For example, we also have adductors in the hands, such as the thumb puller . However, this page is intended to refer to the adductor muscles of the thigh. Targeted training of these muscles is often neglected. With an EMS device, you can specifically strengthen this muscle group.

The adductors get their name from abduction, which means leading up. They are therefore responsible for bringing the legs back to the body. They are on the inside of the thigh.

How to place the EMS electrodes for adductor training

For the inner thigh, we recommend slightly larger electrodes for adductor training. The rectangular 10x5 cm electrodes are ideal

Please note when using EMS:

The intensity should be set so that the intended muscle contracts significantly without causing you to feel pain.

Before training, you should warm up your muscles to prepare them for the upcoming exertion. Our EMS TENS combination device STIM-PRO X9 has pre-installed warm-up programs that start automatically before the actual training programs. So you can carry out your training completely relaxed.
