Instructions
Preparation
- Stand between lever handles to sides. Extend leg back and place top of foot on cross bar. Squat down and grasp handles to sides.
Execution
- With chest high, lift lever by extending hips and knees to full extension. Return until knee of rear leg is almost in contact with floor. Repeat. Continue with opposite leg.

- Keep torso upright during squat; flexible hip flexors are important. Forward knee should point same direction as foot throughout movement. Keep foot flat on floor. Position foot slightly forward to distribute force on hip extensors.
