Instructions

  1. Sit back firmly against the padded backrest with your head and lower back fully supported.

  2. Place your feet flat on the sled platform shoulder-width apart, keeping your heels down.

  3. Release the safety handles and inhale as you slowly bend your knees to lower the weight toward your chest.

  4. Descend deeply until your knees form a sharp angle without letting your lower back round off the pad.

  5. Exhale and press powerfully through your whole foot to extend your legs back to the starting position without locking your knees.
