Seated Leg Press - Machine

Set the leg press to your height so that your knees are at a 90 degrees angle at the starting position (if unsure ask an instructor).

Place your feet on the foot pad hip width apart with your toes pointing vertically.

Keeping your tummy tight so that you don't arch your back, slowly push your legs out straight (but not so straight that you lock out your knees) putting the effort through the heels of your feet. Slowly bring the weight back in again but don't let the weight stack touch before you push back out again.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do breathe out on the way out and in on the way back
  • Do keep your back against the back rest
  • Do keep your tummy tight
  • Do push through the heels of your feet
  • Don't lock your knees out
  • Don't hold your breath
  • Don't arch your back
  • Don't drop the weight stack down
