Leg Extension Machine

How to do it

1. Sit in the leg extension machine with your back against the pad and the roller pad resting on your lower shins.
2. Grip the side handles and adjust the pad so your knees line up with the machine's pivot point.
3. Extend your legs to lift the pad until your knees reach full extension.
4. Pause briefly at the top before lowering under control back to the start.
5. Exhale as you extend, inhale as you lower.
6. Avoid using a fast kicking motion; keep the movement smooth and controlled.
