adductors - squeeze a swiss ball inbetween your thighs while lying on your back, knees bent. Pause and release.
If you have ankle weights you can do inner and outer thigh work lying or standing, many variations.
And if you have a resistance badn or a cable stand and an ankle cuff you can do a lot of hip work.
Kick boxing works your hip flexors a lot. The round house and other side kicks where you have to chamber your knee high before you kick really works the hip flexors.
Most compound leg movements will work your hip fl;exors to a certain degree.
