Description: |
- Bringing your arms to your side, make sure the straps are tight.
- Bend at the knees and slowly push your hips back while keeping your chest and head up. You core and lower back will remain tight.
- Once your upper thighs are parallel with the floor, slowly return to the starting position, keeping the knees slightly bent.
- If you are having difficulty returning to the starting position – actively assist the movement by pulling on the TRX handles. Try to only assist minimally, focusing on your quadriceps and glutes.
