- Sit on a bench with feet flat and a resistance band secured around your ankles.
- Attach the other end of the band to a fixed point behind you.
- Keep your back straight and hold onto the bench for support.
- Slowly extend one leg forward, fully straightening the knee.
- Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps before switching legs.
