How to do it

  1. Sit with your back against the backrest and the inside of your knees against the leg pads.
  2. Set the starting width to a comfortable stretch, not a painful one.
  3. Squeeze your legs together until the pads meet, keeping your back against the backrest.
  4. Let your legs open slowly back to the starting width.

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