Tutorial

  1. 1
    Attach a long fitness band at knee height (on a table leg) and lie on the floor with your stomach in front of it. Keep your head away from the table leg.
  2. 2
    Position the band around your heels. Knee joints are almost straight and the band is slightly under tension. This is your starting position.
  3. 3
    Bend your knee joints forcefully by pushing your heels towards your bottom. Move backwards until the maximum contraction is reached. Hold the position briefly and exhale.
  4. 4
    Extend your knee joints slowly and in a controlled manner until your legs are almost straight again and you are in the starting position.
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Do not stretch your legs out completely and bring your heels as far back as possible.
