Leg press: how to do it
1 of 3
Back and hips against the pad
Starting position
Sit with your back and hips against the pad, place both feet shoulder-width apart on the platform, and hold the handles.
The movement
Release the lock, bend your knees and lower the platform toward you, then press it away until your legs are nearly straight.
Most common mistake
Don't let your hips or lower back lift off the pad, reverse the movement before that happens.
