How to do it
- Adjust the seat so your knees are bent to about 90° with your feet on the platform.
- Place your feet shoulder-width apart, sit back against the backrest, and hold the side handles.
- Push through your whole foot to straighten your legs, stopping just short of locking your knees.
- Bend your knees slowly to come back, keeping your lower back pressed against the backrest.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
