RNT ADDUCTION STEP UP

This is a Reactive Neuromuscular Training technique used to increase hip adductor activation for knee stability. This exercise requires a Plyo Box or stair step to complete. Place one foot on a Plyo Box with a band looped around the inner knee and anchored to a stable object beside you. Keep the knee in line with the middle of your foot and step up onto the Plyo Box. Step back down with the free leg while keeping the banded knee in line with the middle for your foot.
