According to Langhans, this exercise helps strengthen the hamstring and encourages flexion in the knee, as the heel tries to reach for the glute.
Facing the right diagonal, step onto stepper with the left foot, and drive the right heel towards your glutes into a hamstring curl — foot flexed, arms pulling in as you curl.
Step off the stepper with the right foot, followed by the left, and repeat facing the opposite diagonal.
