Single Leg - Leg Press

• Sit in the machine and place your feet on the platform, slightly wider than shoulder-width. Point your toes slightly outward. Lower one of the legs to the floor or to another safe place. You will only use one leg.

• Engage your core and keep your back flat against the seat as you lower the platform. Avoid arching your back.

• Inhale as you slowly bend your knee and lower the platform until your knee forms 90 degree angle. Do not let your knee collapse inward.

• Exhale and press through your heel, driving your knee straight to lift the platform back up to the start position.

• Squeeze your glutes and quadricep at the top of the movement. Do not lock your knee.

• Maintain control throughout the movement and use a weight that allows you to keep proper form. Do not sacrifice form for heavier weight.
