— Adjust the roller pad until it sits over the heels. The machine should include directions with images illustrating the procedure.
—
Lay on your stomach and place a rolling pad placed on lower calves. Be sure your legs are stretched to the max. Grab the machine handles on each side.
— Lift your feet , keeping your legs on the bench. Flex your knees, then draw your ankles toward your glutes.
— For a few seconds hold the position and do 10 to 15 repetitions. Pick a weight that is sufficient to ensure a tight form. If your hips are bouncing out of the bench when you curl you, reduce the weight.
