LEGS

Leg Press

This exercise can only be performed if you have purchased the optional leg press attachment. Adjust the seat back to a comfortable posi- tion. You should try to get as close as possible to the foot plate, yet not so close that your knees are against your chest, forcing your knees outward. Place your feet squarely on the foot plates and press outward to full extension. Be careful not to lock out your knees! Locking your knees is extending a bit too far and can result in injury. Return slowly.

Primary muscles worked: Entire leg! Quadriceps (front of upper leg), Hamstrings (back of upper legs), Gluteals (rear end), Gastrocnemius

(rear of calf), Soleus (lower part of calf).
