Extension and flexion of the leg in the sitting position (left) ► leg press

Individual work

Sit upright on a long bench/swinging box top/chair, hold the elastic band with both hands at stomach height in front of your body, lift and bend one leg (left) and step into the loop of the elastic band with your foot, extend the training leg forwards and bring it back to the starting position, keeping your arms in place (do not move your arms forwards, counteract the pull of the elastic band).

Attention:
Do not put your training leg down, keep your upper body upright (tense your stomach).

Lighten:
Select an elasticated band with less resistance.

Harden:
Choose a rubber band with greater resistance.

Variant:
The exercise can also be performed lying on your back with your leg slightly raised (bend and straighten your leg).
