Instructions

Sit down on the leg press machine and place your back against the padded support. Place your feet on the platform, extend your knees platform and release the lever to begin the exercise. Lower the platform by bending your knee until it is almost fully flexed. Return by extending your knees to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

Do not allow your heels to raise off the platform. Placing your feet high on the platform will work your hamstrings more (the back of your legs) and placing your feet slightly lower on the platform will emphasise your quadriceps (front of your legs) more.
