(The below is if the target leg was the LEFT leg)

Skating Setup:

- Standing on top of the Xformer facing the right of the studio, place your left foot under the front platform strap and right foot under the front carriage strap (slightly turning out your toes)

- Squat down, push the carriage out 95% with your right foot against the front carriage strap

- Place your fingertips on the handlebar in front of you if you need support

Skating Execution:

- Breathe in through your nose as you begin to bend your right knee moving the carriage in towards the front platform about 80-85% to keep tension

- Exhale through your lips as you push the carriage out with your right foot against the front carriage strap 95% to not lock out your knees

Important Notes:

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

- Keep your hips and shoulders squared never learning into one side.

- If you use the black handlebar for support, use your fingers to avoid hunching over too low

- Do not lock out your joints because you will lose tension
