Instructions:
- 1Stand facing the lever machine with the pad resting against your right ankle
- 2Keep a small bend in your standing leg, holding onto the machine for support
- 3Slowly push your right leg back, lifting it as high as you feel comfortable
- 4Hold for a second, then lower your leg back to the starting position
- 5Repeat the movement for the number of reps you want, then switch to the other leg
Tips:
- Keep your abs pulled in so that you move from your hips, not your lower back
- The motion should be slow and controlled, don't swing your leg
- Ensure your hips stay squared to the front, don't open them out to the side
- Consider wearing ankle weights for added resistance if the machine's weight is not challenging
