3. Hold the handles and stabilize your upper body.
Proper Form
1. Please bend the knee of the leg on the platform and slowly lower it down.
2. When your thigh is close to parallel with the floor, push off the platform with your heel and rise up.
3. After the designated number of repetitions, switch legs and perform the same on the opposite side.
Breathing Technique
Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.
Precautions

2. Engage your abdomen and glutes to prevent your pelvis from twisting to one side.
3. Keep your knees aligned with your toes to avoid them collapsing inward.
