Instructions
Preparation
- Stand away from low pulley. Attach cable ankle cuff to one ankle. Stand on opposite leg and grasp lateral bars for support.
Execution
- Raise knee by flexing hip while allowing lower leg to bend back under the resistance. When thigh is just beyond parallel to the floor, lower leg until hip and knee is extended. Repeat. Continue with opposite leg.
Comments
- Rectus Abdominis and Obliques only contract dynamically if actual waist flexion occurs. With no waist flexion, Rectus Abdominis and External Oblique will only act to stabilize the pelvis and waist during hip flexion. See Spot Reduction Myth and Lower Ab Myth.
