Coach's Tips

This exercise targets your glutes and hamstrings from a prone position.

1. Lie face down on the machine and hold the handle to stabilize your upper body.

2. Adjust the position so that the ankle pad is above the Achilles tendon.

1. Lift your leg using the strength of your glutes and the back of your thighs until your body is in a straight line.

2. Feel the contraction in your glutes and slowly return to the starting position while holding.

Exhale when you lift your legs, and inhale when you lower them.

1. Do not tense your lower back; just focus on your glutes and hamstrings.

2. Do not use momentum, and please avoid lifting excessively heavy weights.
