Leg Press

Instructions

Position yourself on the leg press machine with your feet hip-width apart on the platform.
Adjust the seat and backrest to ensure a comfortable position while maintaining a 90-degree angle at the knees.
Release the safety handles while keeping a firm grip on the machine's handles for stability.
Lower the platform by bending your knees slowly and keep your back flat on the seat. Stop when your knees are at a 90-degree angle.
Press the platform back up to the starting position by straightening your legs and make sure not to lock your knees.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Once finished, re-engage the safety handles before releasing the foot platform.

Locking the knees at the top of the movement which can put unnecessary stress on the joints.
Allowing the knees to cave inward during the movement, which can cause strain on the knee ligaments.
Lifting the hips off the seat, which reduces stability and increases injury risk.
Placing the feet too low on the platform, putting excessive load on the knees.
