Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Set the cable pulley to the lowest position, attach an ankle cuff, and select the weight.
  • Bring your shoulders back and grab the handles to your sides.
  • Wrap the cuff around your right ankle and stand up with your left shoulder pointing toward the machine.
  • Bring your shoulders back and step slightly away from the machine to unrack the weight. You can hold onto the machine for balance.
  • Breathe in and raise your right leg to the side in one smooth motion, exhaling at the top of the rep.
  • Slowly bring your leg in as you breathe in and repeat.
  • Once finished, wrap the cuff around your left ankle, stand up with your right shoulder pointing toward the pulley, and repeat for the same number of reps.
