Set-up: Set the pad height to machine specifications. Place one foot on the foot pad or roller, ensuring your knee is slightly bent.
Movement: Engage your core and squeeze your glutes. Press the foot pad backward in a slow, controlled motion until your leg is fully extended behind you. Pause at the top, focus on squeezing your glutes. Keep your back straight and avoid excessive arching. Return to the start position under control. Movement should be generated in the hips, do not hyperextend your lower back.
Emphasis: Maintain control throughout the movement to keep tension on the glutes.
Repetitions: Perform all prescribed reps on one side, then on the other. This counts as one set.
