Band Standing Leg Extension
A standing knee extension: the thigh held up in front, the lower leg straightens against a band anchored low behind.
How to do it
Setup
On one leg, a band from a low anchor behind to the other ankle, that thigh raised.
Steps
- Hold the working thigh still, knee bent.
- Straighten the knee against the band.
- Let the knee bend back under control.
Common mistakes
Thigh dropping as the knee straightens: keep it at the same height. Swaying on the standing leg: hold a support or brace the trunk. Kicking the leg out: extend smoothly.
Breathing
Exhale extending, inhale lowering.
