​
-
Hook a leather ankle cuff to a low cable pulley and then attach the cuff to your right ankle.
-
Face the weight stack from a distance of about two feet, grasping the steel frame for support.
-
While keeping your knees and hips bent slightly and your abs tight, contract your glutes to slowly kick the right leg back in a semicircular arc as high as it will comfortably go as you breathe out.
-
Now slowly bring your right leg forward, resisting the pull of the cable until you reach the starting position.
-
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
-
Switch legs and repeat the movement for the other side
Tips:
-
At full extension, squeeze your glutes for a second in order to achieve a peak contraction.​
