How to do it

  1. Sit with your back and hips flat on the pad, feet shoulder-width in the middle of the platform.
  2. Release the safeties and lower the platform until your knees reach about 90°.
  3. Keep your lower back and hips on the pad the whole way down.
  4. Push the platform away through your whole foot, stopping just short of locking your knees.

Watch out: Lowering so deep that your hips lift and your lower back rounds.
