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
- Keep one foot planted to hold the band.
- Straighten the other knee against the band.
- 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.
