General And Specifics
- train the hamstrings and the knee muscles with this exercise
Starting Position

- for more stability, you can support yourself at the wall or a back of a chair
- the posture is upright
Correct Execution
- bend the knee you want to train to 45 degrees and bring it towards the butt
- the knees stay close to each other
- lower the shank slowly again, so that the contraction stays on the thigh
- do several reps
