Resistance Band Leg Extension

A seated leg extension with a loop band around both ankles; one leg straightens against the band while the other anchors it.

How to do it

Setup

Seated on a bench, a loop band around both ankles, hands on the bench beside the hips.

Steps

  1. Keep one foot planted to hold the band.
  2. Straighten the other knee against the band.
  3. Return the foot slowly; switch legs after the set.

Common mistakes

Planted foot sliding forward with the band: press it into the floor. Band rolling down onto the feet: set it around the ankles. Rushing the bend: the band snaps back; control it.

Breathing

Exhale extending, inhale lowering.
