Create tension by driving the elevated foot downward. Ccontract the extended leg, foot flexed toward the shin.
Push through the working leg, exhale, extend the knees and hips, driving yourself to a standing position. Squeeze the glute at the top, pause, hip fully extended. Keep the elevated leg tight.
