Hey Everyone,
I'm telling you guys, you gotta try this exercise! It can be a great finisher on your leg day or can be done on a strength day for all you runners out here. It works the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and abductor muscles along with the hip. The great thing about using a cable is that you have tension through contraction and extension (through the entire motion). This exercise will also challenge your core as you stabilize against the cable. Make sure to start off at a lighter weight and allow yourself to get into the form before increasing weight. Proper form is a must. This is not meant to be a fast exercise but one that is controlled for balance. You are still sitting back, driving up through the heels, and keeping the chest up (this is a BIG one)! I've even held a dumbbell for added difficulty. Don't be intimidated by the cable machine. It is a great tool and one of us staff members will be more than happy to help you with it.
