LEGS

Seated Leg Curl

Note: This exercise is only available on the Elite model.

Adjust the seat to its lowest position. Adjust the leg lever to its high- est comfortable position by grabbing the attached handle and pulling the release lever with your middle finger. Sit on the seat and place your ankles atop the lower roller pad, but under the middle set of roller pads. Adjust the middle set of roller pads so that they are snug against your shins. These pads will help keep your body in the proper position. Grasp the handles and bend at the knee, pushing the roller pads down and toward the ma- chine. Return slowly.

Variations: Pointing your toes focuses the work on the Hamstrings, while flexing your feet also involves the Gastrocnemius.

Primary muscles worked: Hamstrings (back of upper legs), Gastrocnemius (rear of calf).
