How to do the Leg Press Machine Normal Stance
- Sit on the leg press machine and position your feet at shoulder-width, in the center of the foot platform, keeping your feet flat and parallel. Adjust the seat so that your knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle.
- Hold the handles on the sides of the seat for stability. Keep your back pressed against the backrest and your core engaged.
- Press through your heels to extend your legs, pushing the platform away from you until your legs are fully extended but not locked at the knees.
- Slowly return to the starting position by bending your knees with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Keep your back pressed against the backrest throughout the exercise.
- Ensure both feet remain flat on the platform for better stability and muscle balance.
