INSTRUCTIONS

  • 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.
