Band Seated Leg Extension
The leg extension on a bench with a band tied from the bench leg to the ankle; the band pulls hardest as the knee straightens.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on a bench's end, a band from its leg behind the ankle, hands gripping the edge.
Steps
- Straighten one knee against the band.
- Hold the straight leg for a beat.
- Bend the knee slowly back; finish the leg, then switch.
Common mistakes
Leaning back to lift the leg: sit tall, the knee does the work. Letting the band snap the foot back: control the bend. Band slipping off the ankle: use a cuff or loop it snugly.
Breathing
Exhale extending, inhale lowering.
