***BAND INVERTED/PIKE LEG EXTENSION***
- From the standing position, place the band (for the single and double layer version) directly behind your knees. Then kneel down on the floor, keeping your legs and feet hip-width apart.
- Place your hands flat on the floor roughly shoulder-width apart while keeping the band anchored securely underneath your hands.
- From the all-fours position, sit your hips backward so your knees are bent beyond 90-degrees. Slide your hands on the floor away from your knees to begin with tension on the band. The farther you place your hands away from your knees, the more tension you’ll get at the top of each rep.
- If you’re doing the feet elevated version, place your feet on top of a chair, couch, or bench with your feet shoulder-width apart. Your knees might not touch the floor to start depending on your height and how high you’ve got your feet elevated.
- At the top of each rep, press against the band until your knees are fully straight.
- At the bottom of each rep, keep your knees hovering just above the floor. Don’t allow your knees to rest on the floor until you’ve completed the set.
