Bike

- Start by taking a step forward so your back will be perpendicular to the ground when lowering
- Slightly narrower than shoulder width stance
- Keep your upper back on the bar as you lower down
- Keep knees out throughout the entire movement
- Reach parallel (or just passed) and push through your heels extending your legs to stand up

Smith Machine Hack Squat

- Standing with your feet close, toed out and heels elevated
- Hold a single dumbbell in the goblet position
- Lower into the bottom of a squat at 90 degrees with the knees
- Stand up to just before full extension to keep constant tension

Heel Elevated Dumbbell Goblet Squat

- Keep your chest up holding two dumbbells at your sides
- Step forward and bring your back knee down until both legs are at about 90 degrees
- Keep the knee pointed out and maintain a forward lean
- Have both feet meet at the top before starting the next step
- Step forward and repeat with the opposite leg

Dumbbell Walking Lunges

- Sit on the machine with the pad at the bottom of your shin 
- Extend your legs engaging your quads 
- Pause at the top and lower slowly

Quad Extensions

- Holding dumbbells at your sides and toes elevated, plantar flex at the ankle 
- Pause at the top engaging your calf
- Slowly lower back down and get a full stretch in the muscle

Dumbbell Calf Raise

- Start with dumbbells at your sides
- Take a step and plantar-flex your ankle to come up on your toes
- Slowly come back down and meet the opposite foot at the center
- Take a step and repeat the process with the opposite foot

Walking Calf Raises

It’s always import to let the heart rate slow down to normal gradually for best recovery. As well as flush out the deoxygenated blood from the muscles.
