How to perform

  1. 1

    While standing up straight with both feet next to each other at around shoulder width, grab a sturdy surface such as the sides of a squat rack or the top of a chair to brace yourself and keep balance.

  2. 2

    With or without an ankle weight, lift one leg behind you as if performing a leg curl but standing up while keeping the other leg straight. Breathe out as you perform this movement.

  3. 3

    Slowly bring the raised leg back to the floor as you breathe in.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

  5. 5

    Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.

Important tips

  • Drive through your whole foot, not just your toes.

  • Keep your knees tracking over your toes.

  • An honest range of motion beats a heavier load.
