Instructions
1. Position yourself in a Smith machine with the bar across your shoulders. Place your feet hip-width apart and stand upright.
2. Unrack the bar by rotating it and then standing up straight, locking the bar into place.
3. Shift your weight onto one foot and take a large step diagonally backward with the other foot, crossing it behind your stationary leg.
4. Lower your body by bending both knees, aiming to get your front thigh parallel to the ground. Your back knee should get close to the ground without touching it.
5. Push through the front heel to rise back up to the starting position.
6. Repeat the desired number of repetitions on one leg before switching to the opposite leg.
Note: Keep your torso upright and core engaged throughout the movement. Adjust the weight on the Smith machine according to your fitness level and make sure the bar is securely locked in place before and after each set. Ensure proper form is maintained to avoid any potential knee strain or injury.
