All right. Now I'm going to show you how to do a knee press with a leg extension from all fours. Make sure you set everything up with the long spine inhale. I'm turning my head so I can do this. Inhale, exhale. Now, keeping the spine long, you're going to squeeze, or crack the walnut, lower glutials, keeping the back straight. You're going to take one leg and press it out like you did in your knee extensions, and now you're adding the foot. So extend, bend, and bring it back down. So squeeze it out. When you take the foot forward, make sure you reach forward, foot towards shoulder. So don't just straighten to the back. Straighten the foot forward, bend, and then return. Move the leg as a unit. Press, extend, bend, and squeeze in. Make sure the whole time, you're staying engaged, squeezing through the lower glutes. And make sure you're breathing. Relax your hands a little bit. All right? You should feel those.
