Single leg press: how to do it

1 of 3

One foot in the middle of the platform

  1. Starting position

    Sit with your back and hips against the pad, place one foot in the middle of the platform, keep the other to the side, and hold the handles.

  2. The movement

    Release the lock, bend your knee and lower the platform toward you, then press it away until your leg is nearly straight.

Most common mistake

Don't twist your hips as you press, keep both hips against the pad and your knee in line with your toes.
