Straight From theAskLance@gmail.comInbox Question From:  Natalie F., Philadelphia PA Hi Lance, My name is Natalie and I am studying to become a personal trainer at NPTI (The National Personal Training Institute). For the past months, the teachers describe Adduction and Abduction. I just don't get the concept, especially when applied to the upper body! Can you PLEASE break this down for me in layman's terms so that I don't feel like such a dork in class? Thank you!! A.Hey Natalie, Okay, let's break this down... 1. We havethree anatomical planes of motion that all bodily movement occurs through. 2. Adduction and abduction aremovementsthat occur in thecoronal (frontal) planewhich separates the body into front and back. 3. Another plane of motion (sagital plane) equally divides the body inright and left sideswhich creates what is referred to as themidlineor middle of the body. Remembering the difference between AB-duction and ADD-uction: AB -AWAYfrom midline (outward) ADD -TOWARDSmidline (like you are adding or bringing a part (arm/leg) to the whole)  See these movements within exercises: Santa Jumping Jacks -
