Vertical leg press

Proper Position

• Lie on the vertical leg press machine with your back firmly pressed against the backrest and your hips securely positioned.
• Place your feet on the platform, hip-width apart or slightly wider, with your toes slightly angled outward.
• Ensure your knees are aligned with your toes, and your legs are slightly bent (not fully extended) in the starting position.

Movement

• Unlock the platform by releasing the safety mechanism, if applicable.
• Slowly bend your knees to lower the platform toward your chest. Lower until your thighs are close to your torso, while keeping your lower back in contact with the backrest.
• Push through your feet to extend your legs and return the platform to the starting position, without fully locking your knees.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Breathing

• Inhale as you lower the platform.
• Exhale as you push to return to the starting position.
