Instructions
Preparation
- Climb up steps to top of machine. Lie supine on horizontal
padded platform with shoulders against pad. Place feet equally
spaced and slightly high on platform. Grip handles above shoulder
pads.
Execution
- Push lever platform away by extending hips and knees until
knees are straight. Return lever platform by flexing hips and
knees until knees are just short of complete flexion or until
hips are completely flexed. Repeat.
Comments
- Adjust shoulder pads to allow for full range of motion without
forcing hips to rise at waist. Keep knees pointed same directions
as feet. Push with both heel and forefoot and do not allow heels
to raise off of platform. Placing feet slightly high on platform
emphasize Gluteus Maximus. Placing feet slightly lower on platform
emphasize Quadriceps.
