Leg Press 2 Instructions

  1. Adjust the seat and backrest of the leg press machine to a comfortable position.

  3. Grip the handles on the sides of the seat for stability.
  4. Push the footplate away from your body by extending your legs, keeping your back firmly against the backrest.
  5. Slowly bend your knees and lower the footplate towards your body until your knees are at a 90-degree angle.

Leg Press 2 Tips

  1. Position your feet shoulder-width apart on the footplate to target your quads effectively.
  2. Ensure your back is firmly pressed against the backrest for stability and to avoid strain.
  3. Start with a light weight and gradually increase to avoid injury and build strength over time.
  4. Exhale as you push the footplate away, focusing on squeezing your quads at the top of the movement.
  5. Avoid locking your knees at the top of the exercise to maintain tension on your quads throughout.
  6. Control the descent of the weight, taking about twice as long as the upward movement, to maximize muscle engagement.
  7. Don’t forget to warm up your quads with dynamic stretches before starting the leg press to prevent injury.
