Movement
- Brace the abdominal muscles and push the platform away with heels and forefoot by extending the knees and hips and pushing the back into the seat pad.
- The heels should remain flat on the foot plate and the front of the foot or toes should not be used exclusively to move the pad forward.
- Do keep the head steady and back against the seat.
- Don’t lock out the knees in an explosive fashion but do express a full range of motion.
- Return the foot plate to the starting position by allowing the knees to bend under control while maintaining the feet flat on the surface. Repeat the exercise.
