How to do it

  1. 01

    Lie on an exercise mat or a flat bench with your legs off the end.

  2. 02

    Place your hands either under your glutes with your palms down or by the sides holding on to the bench (or with palms down by the side on an exercise mat). Also extend your legs straight out. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    Bend your knees and pull your upper thighs into your midsection as you breathe out. Continue this movement until your knees are near your chest. Hold the contracted position for a second.

  4. 04

    As you breathe in, slowly return to the starting position.

  5. 05

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Flat Bench Leg Pull-In needs no kit, so it appears whenever the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

Same pattern, with kit

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
