How to do it
- Attach an ankle cuff to a low pulley and fasten it around the ankle farther from the machine.
- Stand side-on to the machine, hold the frame for balance, and keep your standing knee slightly bent.
- Move your working leg out to the side with your toes pointing forward, without leaning your torso away.
- Return slowly until your feet are close together, then switch sides once that side is done.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
