Resistance Band Lying Leg Press
Lying on the back with a band looped around the feet and the ends held at the chest, the knees drawn in and the legs pressed out against its pull.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on the back, the band's loop around both feet, the ends held at the chest, knees pulled in.
Steps
- Press both feet out until the legs are straight, just off the floor.
- Hold the stretch of the band for a beat.
- Bend the knees back toward the chest under control.
Common mistakes
Lower back arching as the legs straighten: keep it pressed to the floor. Letting the band snap the knees back: control the return. Hands drifting off the chest: the band slips; keep the ends pinned.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
