Position the handle in the lowest hole. Attach the foot cuff with the loop
down. Place the foot of the working leg into the cuff, with the back portion
of the strap against your heel and the loop around the bottom of your foot.
Position your body so that it is side by side, in relation to the upright. Your
working leg will be farthest from the upright. Stand far enough away from
the upright so that you achieve full extension of the working leg. Grasp the
upright with the hand opposite the working side. Start with your working
foot above or crossed over the planted foot. Swing your foot out to the side
as far as possible. Slowly return to the start position and repeat for the
desired number of repetitions. Switch sides and repeat the process.

foot 18-24” apart from the other one. Swing the working foot towards the
midline of your body, until it meets your other foot. Slowly return to the start
