How to do it

  1. Lie on the leg press machine and place your left foot flat on the platform while your right foot rests on the floor.

  2. Engage your core and keep your back pressed against the seat. Release the safety handles of the leg press machine.

  3. Press through your left foot to extend your leg fully, pushing the platform upward.

  4. Slowly lower the platform back down to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the right leg.

Form tips

  • Exhale as you press the platform upward and inhale as you lower it back down.

  • Ensure your knee stays aligned with your toes to avoid unnecessary strain.

  • Keep your knee slightly bent at the top of the movement to reduce strain on your joints.
