Equipment
Remove one foot from the platform, leaving only one foot in the center of the platform, this will be your working leg.
Push the platform away with your working leg, extending your knee and hip, but ensure not to lock your knee at the top of the movement.
Slowly return the platform to the starting position by bending your knee and hip, controlling the weight as it returns.
Repeat these steps for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other leg and repeat the process.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movement**: Avoid fast, jerky movements. Instead, press the weight up slowly and lower it back down in a controlled manner. This not only prevents injuries but also ensures that your muscles are fully engaged during the exercise. **Correct Range of Motion**: Aim for a 90-degree angle at the knee at the bottom of the movement. Going lower can put undue stress on your knee, while not going low enough can limit the effectiveness of the exercise. **Avoid Locking Your Knee**: Another common mistake is locking the knee at the top of the movement. This can put a lot of stress on the knee joint. Keep a slight bend in
