  2. Place your shins under the padded lever.
  3. Grasp the side handles for stability.
  4. Exhale and extend your legs by lifting the weight until your knees are almost straight but not locked.
  5. Pause at the top of the movement, then inhale as you slowly return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
