How to do it

  1. Attach an ankle strap to the low pulley and fasten it around one ankle.
  2. Face the machine and hold the frame for support, with your knees and hips slightly bent.
  3. Kick the strapped leg back slowly as far as feels comfortable, squeeze your glutes, then bring it forward with control.
  4. Finish your reps, then repeat on the other side.

Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Beginner tip: Keep your back still and move only the working leg.
