159. Leg Press

Leave a Comment

Please note: each leg press machine is built slightly differently. They all have safety warnings and instructions for best use on them. Please read those carefully before performing this exercise.

Set the seat/backrest so that your knees and hips start in a flexed position. If you’re new to this, 90 degrees is a good place to start. Place your feet on the press so that they are about hip width apart – this should be comfortable. Go a little narrower or wider depending on feel. Tighten your core, then using your legs push evenly through your feet. Your feet should stay entirely in contact with the press for the whole movement. Slowly return to start – do not spring back. As you are pressing out, try to keep your knees from rotating inward. Repeat as directed.
