Instructions
Preparation
- Lie supine on back pad with shoulders under shoulder pad.
Place feet on platform. Extend hips and knees and release lever.
Execution
- Lower lever by flexing hips and knees until knees are just
short of complete flexion. Raise sled by extending knees and
hips. Repeat.
Comments
- If available reengage support lever in extended position
before dismounting. If insufficient hip flexibility forces pelvis
to pull away from back pad at lower portions of movement, only
lower sled just short of spinal articulation. Keep knees pointed
same directions as feet. Do not allow heels to raise off of platform,
pushing with both heel and forefoot. Placing feet slightly high
on platform emphasize Gluteus Maximus. Placing feet slightly
lower on platform emphasize Quadriceps. Also see similar exercise
