  1. Connect the ankle wrap attachment and set the cable pulley at the bottom of the pole. Wrap the attachment around your left ankle. Start on all fours slightly to the right of the pole, ensuring that your knees are below your hips and your hands are below your shoulders. Set your spine in a neutral position and draw your shoulder blades down and back. This is your starting position.
  2. Inhale. Exhale. Keeping your knee bent, release and elevate your left leg until your thigh is in line with your spine, ensuring that your foot remains flexed.
  3. Inhale. Lower your left leg to return to the starting position, but without resting your knee on the mat. Complete half of the specified repetitions on the same side, before repeating the remaining repetitions on the other side.
