ABSTRACT:
An abductor machine has a pair of movement arms including thigh pads engageable by the user's thighs to move the movement arms outwardly about vertical axes while the user is seated with the thighs located between the thigh pads. The movement arms are connected to a weight stack by a transmission including connecting rods interconnecting the movement arms and a cam, and a cam follower which is connected to an actuating lever which in turn drives the weight stack pin. The lateral position of the thigh pads is adjustable to suit the size of the user's thighs. The thigh pads are also self-adjustable about vertical axes. An adjustable backrest is also provided to change the posture of the user so that the exercise may be concentrated on different portions of the abductor muscles. Once adjusted, the backrest is locked in position.
