How to do it

1. Attach a resistance band at a low-mid point on sturdy equipment. Lie on your back facing the extended cable passing over your torso, and attach your right ankle to the band using a cuff.
2. Bend your right knee and pull it toward your chest, while the other leg stays extended and relaxed on the floor.
3. Press your foot forward against the resistance, straightening your leg fully without locking the knee.
4. Return slowly to the starting position. Repeat for the desired repetitions, switch legs, and repeat.

Form tips

• Engage your core to stabilize your body during the motion.
• Adjust your body’s distance from the anchor to maintain consistent tension.
• Ensure the band or cable has tension at the start of the movement.
