- 2.Place your lower legs under the padded lever, just above your ankles.
- 3.Grasp the handles on the sides of the machine for support.
- 4.Keeping your upper legs stationary, exhale and curl your legs up as far as possible.
- 5.Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your hamstrings.
- 6.Inhale and slowly lower the lever back to the starting position.
- 7.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
