How to do it
- Tie the band to a post or machine leg near the floor and place a bench a short distance away.
- Sit on the bench facing the anchor, loop the band behind your ankles and start with your legs straight.

- Pause, then slowly straighten your legs back to the start.
Beginner tip: Check that the band is tied firmly before you start.
