Copenhagen With Dave

Let's visit Copenhagen with Dave! Nope we aren't off to Denmark (sadly), it's actually an exercise for the inner leg! Who knew? People often spend a lot of time in the gym working their glutes (butt) and abductors (upper/outer leg), but the adductors (inner/upper leg) often get over looked. There are various benefits for training your adductors, among them are reduced risk or injury, improved leg strength and generally balancing out the glute/abductor work you may already be doing. The Copenhagen is a bodyweight adductor exercise that's easily done at home with no kit. You will just need a chair!
Dave gives you two options dependant on ability. If you find option 1 easy, move on to option 2.

Here they are-

Option 1 - Once you are in position, hold it for 20 seconds and then take a 20-30 second recovery. Repeat 5 times.
Option 2 - Once in position lower and lift the bottom leg x 10 and take 1 minute recovery between sets. Repeat 5 times

Have fun with this one!!
