To strengthen the adductor magnus muscle, try the following exercises:
Stand with a very wide stance. Shift all your weight to one side, bending that knee while keeping the opposite leg straight. You should feel a deep stretch along the inner thigh of the straight leg.

Understanding the function of this muscle requires looking at both the hip joint and the knee joint.
Often described by anatomists as a "muscle with a split personality," the adductor magnus is one of the largest and most complex muscles in the human body. It is a primary mover for hip adduction, a powerful synergist for hip extension, and a critical stabilizer for walking, running, and squatting. If you have ever suffered from groin pain, struggled to widen your squat stance, or felt tightness deep inside your thigh, your adductor magnus is likely the culprit.

Repetitive stress on the tendon attachments—especially at the adductor tubercle or the linea aspera—can lead to chronic inflammation and degeneration. This condition is characterized by a dull, aching pain that develops gradually and limits athletic performance. Entrapment Syndromes
The muscle is uniquely divided into two distinct parts that have different origins, insertions, and even nerve supplies: Adductor (Pubofemoral) Part
is innervated by the tibial component of the sciatic nerve (L4–S1).
