Band Leg Extension

How to do it

1. Anchor a resistance band low behind you and loop the other end around your ankle.
2. Sit tall on a bench or chair with the anchored leg's knee bent to start.
3. Extend your lower leg forward against the band's resistance until the leg straightens, working the quadriceps.
4. Pause briefly at full extension before returning under control.
5. Exhale on the extension, inhale as you let the knee bend back.
6. Avoid swinging the leg or using momentum to overcome the band tension.
