Exercise Setup: Kneel on a padded surface or mat with your toes flat against the floor. Your body should be upright and back straight.
Partner Assistance: Have your partner stand or kneel behind you to stabilize your ankles. Your partner should apply downward pressure to your calves to “anchor” you to the ground.
Performing theReturn Movement:** Once you reach your maximum point or come close to the ground, use your hamstrings and glutes to pull your body back to the starting position.
Partner's Role: If necessary, your partner can provide some assistance by supporting your hips or lower back to help you return to the starting position.
Repetitions and Sets: Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Safety Tips: Warm up before performing the exercise to prepare your muscles and prevent injury. Perform the movement in a controlled manner to avoid placing excessive strain on your hamstrings. Communicate with your partner to ensure the right amount of assistance is given. If you experience any sharp pain, stop the exercise immediately.
