Leg
Press
Lie on the support pad in a supine
position under a leg press machine. Position your body under the
machine until your hips are directly under the foot pad of the
machine. Position your feet on the foot pad about 12 inches apart and
keep the whole foot planted firmly on the pad. Press the weight
rack upward until your legs are straight and your knees are locked.
Release the safety stops with both hands and then place your hands
under your buttocks palms facing down. Inhale and bend your legs
to lower the weight rack until your upper thighs are just touching
the outer sides of your torso. Keep your knees slightly out to
the sides. Keep your hips down and do not cause a rotating motion
with your lower back. Return to starting position and exhale.
