Leg Press

This is an exercise that involves your hip and knee flexion. There are so many muscles used in this exercise and foot placement will move the emphasis to different muscles. To put the greatest emphasis on your glutes you would place your feet to the top corners of the plate.

Position body in machine and ensure lower back is against back rest with normal curve. Position feet in the top corners of the plate.

Push from your heels and straighten hips and knees. Extended legs fully straight but do not lock out your knees.

Lower weight until lower back starts to lose natural curve. Hold this position then push back out again under control.
