How to do it

  1. Attach an ankle cuff to a low pulley and fasten it around the ankle nearer the machine.
  2. Stand side-on a step away from the machine and hold the frame, letting the cable draw your working leg out to the side.
  3. Pull the working leg in and across in front of your standing leg, keeping your torso upright.
  4. Let it return out to the side slowly, only as far as a comfortable stretch, 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.
