How to do it

  1. Set up with your chest or forearms on the support pad and your working foot on the moving foot plate.
  2. Hold the handles and brace your core so your lower back stays neutral.
  3. Push your leg back by squeezing your glute until your hip is fully extended.
  4. Stop before your lower back starts to arch, then return slowly and switch legs.

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