Leg Press Machine

How to do it

1. Sit in the leg press machine with your back and head flat against the padded seat.
2. Place feet on the platform shoulder width apart, toes turned out slightly.
3. Release the safety catches and lower the platform until your knees reach close to 90 degrees.
4. Press through your heels and midfoot to extend your legs, driving through the quadriceps.
5. Exhale on the press, inhale as you lower under control.
6. Avoid locking out your knees hard at the top; stop just short of full extension.
