Position

Adjust the machine so that the pads are positioned just above your knees and sit with your back flat against the backrest.

Movement

  • Press your legs inward against the pads by squeezing your inner thighs, then release them back to the starting position.
  • Keep your core engaged and your back flat against the backrest throughout the movement.

Breathing

Inhale as you release the weight and exhale as you press your legs inward.

Tips

  • Focus on using your inner thigh muscles to press the pads together, rather than relying on momentum or other muscles for assistance.
  • Avoid arching your back or lifting your hips off the seat to maintain proper form.
  • Start with a light weight to ensure proper form and gradually increase the resistance as you build strength.
