Make every rep count.

  1. 01

    Sit tall with your back firmly against the pad, core braced, and spine neutral. Place your feet on the footrests and position your knees/thighs against the pads.

  2. 02

    Start with control (don’t let the weight stack slam). Exhale as you press your legs outward, leading with your knees and keeping your torso still.

  3. 03

    Open until you reach a strong, comfortable range—no bouncing or overstretching.

  4. 04

    Inhale and slowly return to the start, resisting the weight the whole way.

  5. 05

    Repeat for your prescribed reps, keeping the movement smooth and controlled.
