Lever Leg Press

Lever Leg Press Instructions

- Weight plates (optional, adjust according to ability)

Positioning:
1. Begin by adjusting the seat of the lever leg press machine to ensure your knees align with the pivot point of the machine when you're seated.
2. Sit down on the machine and position your back against the padded support.
3. Place your feet shoulder-width apart on the footplate, ensuring that your heels are flat against it.

Movement:
1. Start with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle and the weight released (if applicable).
2. Push through your heels to extend your legs, straightening your knees without locking them at the top.
3. Hold for a moment at the top of the movement, squeezing your quadriceps and glutes.
4. Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position by bending your knees, keeping control of the movement.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:
- Keep your back flat against the pad throughout the exercise to avoid strain.
- Breathe out while pushing up and inhale as you lower back down.
- Start with lighter weights if you're a beginner to master the form before increasing the load.
