Description

  • Sit in bench with back pad adjusted to rear-most position and set resistance.
  • Adjust leg extension/curl arm to low position so that legs are at no less than a 90° angle. Tuck feet behind roller pads, align knees with pivot point (orange washers) closest to seat pad.
  • Slowly extend legs as far as you can without locking knees, return to start position and repeat.

ProTip

  • Keep the top of your hips in contact with the back-rest.

Mistakes

  • Kicking the legs up too violently.
  • Not extending all the way.
