Single Leg, Leg Press

1. Sit on a leg press machine with your feet shoulder width apart on the platform.
2. Unlock the machine and bring one leg to the floor. Find a comfortable stance with the foot that is still up on the platform.
3. Bend your knee in toward your chest to bring the platform down.
4. Push out of your heel to straighten your leg and return to the starting position.
- Do not extend your leg fully and lock out your knee. This can be dangerous. We want to extend our leg, but always have tension on them.
- Push out of your heel to activate your glute.
- Keep your butt down. Do not let it lift far off the seat.
- Keep your core engaged and do not hunch forward or arch your back.
- Keep your knee in line with your toes. Your knee should be aiming straight up at the ceiling.
