This page tells you what the machine is. Step-by-step instructions, common mistakes and a video of the movement are in the Luio app — the video shows the range of motion that text cannot describe.
Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Arching the lower back to throw the leg higher, which loads the spine instead of the glutes. Letting the working hip rotate open, which lets the lower back take over the movement. Bending the knee mid-rep, swapping glute work for hamstring engagement. Rushing the return phase and letting the cable yank the leg forward instead of controlling the descent.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Glutes. The Keskivartalo assist.
