LEG PRESS

Start: Sit in a leg press machine and place your right foot in the middle of the platform, keeping the left foot flat on the floor for stability. Unhook the safety stoppers and support the weight with your right leg.

MOVE: Slowly lower the weight, bringing your right knee toward your chest but stopping when your knee is at a 90 degree angle. Pause a moment before pressing through your heel to return the weight to the start position at full leg extension but without locking out at the knee. Perform the desired number of reps then repeat on the left leg.Step 2Step 3

Lower the weight as deep as possible without rounding your back and while keeping your glutes on the seat. Press the weight back up again as you exhale.
