1. Stand on the footplate, securing your feet under the foot holder.
2. Lean back, allowing your knees to bend forward while keeping your torso and hips in a straight line.
3. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor or as deep as comfortable.
4. Push back up to the starting position, engaging your quadriceps.
