- Adjust seat and backrest so hips and knees are at about 90 degrees
- Set leg pads just outside your comfortable range; sit tall with back against the pad
- Grip handles, brace your core, and keep chest up and shoulders relaxed
- Exhale as you squeeze the pads together using your inner thighs; move smoothly
- Pause briefly at the center without letting hips roll or knees cave inward awkwardly
- Inhale as you return slowly to the start, controlling the weight; don’t slam the stack
- Use a light to moderate load and a pain‑free range; increase only when form stays solid
- Avoid leaning forward, arching excessively, or using momentum; keep movement controlled
