How to perform

Securely position feet on footrests. Sit on the seat, gripping the handle with an overhand grip. Begin with knees bent, shins vertical, and a slight forward lean. Extend legs, keeping arms straight, until fully extended. Lean back slightly and pull the handle to your lower ribs. Reverse the motion: extend arms, then bend knees to return to the starting position.

Tips
