Hi Panther

Spring Load:

- 0 white springs (challenging)

- 1 white spring (standard)

- 2 white springs (modification)

Hi Panther Setup:

- Begin by holding the black handlebars with your thumbs on top and four fingers underneath

- Place your toes on the first white line of the carriage with your legs and feet together

- Have a slight bend in your elbow, position your shoulders a little behind your wrists , and lift your hips to table top position

Hi Panther Execution:

- Breathe in through your nose as you begin to bend your knees under your hips (keeping your hips in line with your shoulders)

- Exhale through your lips as you straighten your legs to push the carriage back (never allowing the hips to drop lower than the shoulders)

Important Notes:

- Do not tuck your chin into your chest. Look down or down and slightly forward

- Keep your hips in line with your shoulders (never letting them be higher or lower than shoulders)

- Your arms remain straight with a slight bend in your elbow the whole time.

- This exercise has a very short range of motion. You do not extend your legs all the way back because it will cause your hips to drop lower than your shoulders
