How to do it

Setup

Ankle strap on the NEAR leg at the low pulley, standing side-on, hand on the frame.

Steps

  1. Draw the working leg across the body's midline.
  2. Keep the torso tall and still.
  3. Return with tension; finish the leg, switch.

Common mistakes

Leaning away to fake range: the LEG crosses, not the body. Swinging: slow sweep, dead stop. Toe turning out: foot stays forward.

Breathing

Exhale on the sweep across, inhale returning.
