Leg Extension

LEG EXTENSION

TARGET MUSCLES: Quadriceps

MOVEMENTS: Knee Extension

1. Make sure to align your knees with the pivot point at the end of the seat by adjusting the back pad and press your lower back firmly against it. Tip: You should be able to fit two fingers behind your knees and the seat.

2. The roller should be on a comfortable position at the front of your ankles (do not rest it on your shins).

3. Start the movement with your feet positioned a few inches out rather than underneath you to decrease tension on your knees, adjust the movement lever so it’s at an angle that makes starting easy.

4. Flex your ankles (our machine guides you to do this), curl your toes up toward your body, exhale as you extend your legs and focus on contracting your quad muscles. Keep your core engaged to help you balance in the seat.

5. Pause at full extension, inhale and slowly return to the start position.
