Lever Plate-Loaded Leg Extension

Sit on the leg extension machine with your back firmly against the pad and adjust the seat so your knees align with the pivot point.

Place your lower shins behind the padded roller bar and secure the thigh pad snugly across your thighs.

Hold onto the side handles for support and exhale as you extend your legs outward until they are straight.

Pause briefly at the top while contracting your quadriceps, then inhale as you slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
