Equipment

  • Captain's chair / dip station

How to do it

  1. Step onto the station, rest your forearms on the arm pads, hold the handles and keep your back against the pad.
  2. Let your legs hang straight down toward the floor.
  3. Tighten your stomach and raise your straight legs until they are about parallel to the floor, then pause.
  4. Slowly lower your legs back to the start.

Beginner tip: If straight legs feel too hard, bend your knees and raise them instead.
