Leg Press (CI-LP)
Muscles Used: Quadriceps, Hamstrings, and Gluteus
Setup: Adjust the start position located behind the back pad to the desired range of motion. Position feet on the
foot plate, hip width apart, with feet turned out slightly. Check the weight stack to ensure appropriate
resistance. Grip the handles on the sides of the seat and position the body with chest up, shoulders and
head back against back pad.
NOTE: When positioning the feet on the foot plate, ensure that the feet are placed so that the knees do
not move above the toes, as this places excessive stress on the knee joints.
Movement: With a controlled motion, extend the legs until the knees are slightly bent. DO NOT LOCK THE KNEES.
Return to the start position while maintaining resistance on the stack. Repeat the motion, while
maintaining proper body positioning.
