Resistance Band Leg Extension

Attach a resistance band to a stable anchor point and loop the other end around your ankle. Stand or sit with your torso upright and your working leg slightly bent. Extend your leg forward by straightening the knee against the band’s resistance, then slowly return to the starting position while maintaining control throughout the movement. Focus on contracting the quadriceps during the extension.
