How To Perform the Horizontal Leg Press

  1. Sit down on the leg press machine and position your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform.
  2. Adjust the seat and backrest so your knees are at a 90-degree angle when starting.
  3. Grip the handles on the sides of the seat for stability.
  4. Inhale, then press the platform away by extending your legs, keeping your back flat against the seat.
  5. Exhale as you push and avoid locking your knees at the top of the movement.
  6. Slowly return to the starting position by bending your knees to a 90-degree angle, controlling the movement.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
