What it works

Legs

How to do it

  1. 1Sit with the thigh pad locked down and the ankle pad on the lower calf.
  2. 2Curl the heels down and back, squeeze, and return under control.
  3. 3The seated position puts the hamstrings on a longer stretch than the lying version, which is why many people feel it more.
