This tubing exercise is called the four point extension. So you know if you ever gone to a gym and you see those butt blaster machines. Well we're going to simulate that right here with tubing. So it's very inexpensive and you can do this at your home. So what you want to do is you want to come onto your hands and your knees. Make sure that your hands are directly underneath your shoulders. So this is the proper position. Next what you want to do is you want to take the handle and place it right around your foot. Make sure you get it in the arch of your foot so it doesn't come flying off. Then you want to take the opposite hand of that back foot wrap up the tubing and create the resistance that you need. Now I suggest that you come into your first so that you have really good control over the tubing. Now extend your foot up and flex your foot and you?re going to push out with your heel and then bring your knee in. Push out and bring in. Now never miss an opportunity to work those abs so keep your abdominal muscles in nice and tight. Draw the shoulder blades back. You can perform about twenty on one leg and twenty reps on the other leg. And that is your four point leg extension.
