How to perform

§ 02 · Steps
  1. 01

    Set up in the machine so your hip joint is aligned with the lever's pivot point and your pelvis is firmly against the pad; place your foot on the lever's foot support.

  2. 02

    Adjust the resistance to an appropriate level and grip the handles; brace your core and keep your chest in a neutral position.

  3. 03

    Drive your leg backward by extending your hip until you feel your glute contract; avoid overextending your lower back.

  4. 04

    Return to the starting position under control while controlling the resistance, and maintain core bracing throughout the movement.
