How to do it

  1. Attach an ankle strap to a low pulley and fasten it around one ankle.
  2. Face the machine, hold the frame, and hinge forward slightly with a soft bend in your standing knee.
  3. Kick your working leg straight back by squeezing your glute, keeping the movement slow and controlled.
  4. Stop when your hip is fully extended, without arching your lower back, then return slowly and switch legs.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
