Movement instructions

1
Suspend your straps so the handles are 18-30 inches from the floor.
2
Facing away from the setup, place your rear foot into the handle behind you. Keep your head looking forward and your chest up, with your knee slightly bent. This will be your starting position.
3
Descend by flexing the knee and hips, lowering yourself to the ground. Keep your weight on the heel of your foot and maintain your posture throughout the exercise.
4
At the bottom of the movement, reverse the motion, extending through the hip and knee to return to the starting position.

Technique guidance

Inhale as you lower under control and exhale as you drive back to a stable position. Keep the breath smooth throughout the set.

Use a stable setup and a load or resistance you can control through a comfortable range.
Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or feel unwell.
Inspect the implement and clear its movement path before starting.
