How to do it

  1. Sit with your back flat against the pad and place your feet a little closer than shoulder-width in the middle of the platform, toes turned out slightly.
  2. Push the platform up until your legs are almost straight, then release the side safety handles.
  3. Slowly bend your knees to lower the platform, letting your knees track over your toes.
  4. Press back up through your heels, stopping just before your knees lock.

Beginner tip: Only go as low as you can while your lower back stays on the pad.
