Abductors
Muscles of the hip that pull your legs apart. Gluteus medius and minimus pull your legs outward. Inline skating, skiing and dance work these muscles.
Abs
Abbreviation for abdominal muscles.
Abductors: Muscles that on contraction draw a part away from the axis of the body.
Absolute Strength: The most force a muscle can produce in a single voluntary effort, no matter the rate of force production.
Abductors - The muscles on the hip used to pull the legs apart and away from each other.
Hip abductors and adductors - These are the muscles of the inner and outer thigh. The abductors are on the outside and move the leg away from the body. The adductors are on the inside and pull the leg across the centerline of the body.

Hip Abductors
The 2 Abductors are excellent hip stabilisers, and assist in some steering manoeuvres.
Low Pulley Abduction, Side leg raises, Seated Hip Abduction machines and the standing multi-hip machines.
OUTER THIGHS - GLUTEUS MEDIUS and MINIMUS (ABDUCTORS)
Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus are the hip abductors. They originate from the external surface of the Ilium and attach to the femur.
It works the quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteus, lower back, abdominals, hips, and abductors. Squats allow for heavy weights to be lifted. This makes the squat an incredibly effective muscle building exercise.
The takeaway is that if the hip abductors (the muscles that move the lower leg sideways away from the body) and the hip flexors (muscles that move the lower leg in toward the body) are weak, the knee doesn't track as well as it should.

Comeback strategy: Physical therapy to build strength and flexibility in the quads and hip abductors (the muscles that run up your outer thighs from your knees to your hips), which help keep the kneecaps in place. Think squats. Lots of squats.
This essentially involves doing the bigger-payoff moves earlier in your workout. So, for example, work your large muscles (quads) before smaller ones (abductors) and perform multi-joint exercises (bench press) before single-joint ones (biceps curls).
But the smaller gluteus medius and minimus muscles are what we'll need to focus on to try and increase hip width. These two muscles are what's known as abductors.
Make sure that your strength training routine takes into consideration the entire lower body. Train quadriceps (squats), hamstrings (leg curls or walking lunges), calves (toe raises) and adductors/inner thigh (plie squats). Abductors will be worked ...
3 muscles of the buttocks and hips that extend your thighs forward and to the side (abduction) and rotate your legs at the hips. Walking, running and climbing all work the gluteus maximus. Side movements such as skating or dance work the abductors.
Do not swing your leg so hard that you cannot keep your upper body from moving.
4. Repeat for 10 full swings and repeat on other leg. 5. You can also swing your leg across your body stretching the abductors and adductors.
Hips - Hip adductors, abductors and flexors are smaller muscles used to push the legs from and pull them to the body. Sufficient work for the hip muscles can come from the compound weight lifting exercises for the leg as well as abdominal work.
