• Hold the handles,placed at your sides,and gently curl your feet outwards,so that your legs are completely straight.

• Squeeze your quadriceps hard,and return back to the starting position.Do not go back fully,to let the weights rest on each other,but keep control of the motion of the weights.

• Remember-Light to moderate weight must be chosen.Correct form is more important than heavy weights.

• Do around 12-15 reps per set,while do a max of 3 sets in a workout.
