Instructions
Preparation
- Lie supine on platform with shoulders against pad. Place feet high up on platform. Extend hips and knees. Release dock levers.
Execution
- Flex hips and knees to descend until hips are completely flexed. Raise sled by extending knees and hips. Repeat.
Comments
- If insufficient hip flexibility forces the pelvis to pull away from the back pad at the lower portions of the movement, only lower the sled just short of spinal articulation. Keep knees pointed same directions as feet. Do not allow heels to raise off of platform, pushing with both heel and forefoot.
