Lever Seated Leg Press
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The seated leg press on a lever machine primarily targets the lower body, particularly focusing on the quadriceps. This exercise helps build strength and muscle mass, providing a safer alternative to squatting with free weights by supporting the back in a seated position.
How to do it
- Sit on the leg press machine with your back and head against the padded support.
- Place your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform.
- Release the safety handles and slowly lower the weight by bending your knees to a 90-degree angle.
- Push the platform back to the starting position by extending your legs.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control throughout the movement.
