How To Perform the Single Leg Press

  1. Sit on the leg press machine and place one foot on the platform, ensuring it is centered.
  2. Adjust the seat and backrest if necessary for comfort and proper alignment.
  3. Grasp the side handles for support and stability.
  4. Disengage the safety lock and press the platform away with your working leg until it is almost fully extended but not locked.
  5. Slowly bend your knee to lower the platform back towards you, keeping control and avoiding any abrupt movements.
  6. Stop when your knee is at approximately a 90-degree angle or as far as your flexibility allows without your lower back lifting off the seat.
  7. Press through your heel to extend your leg back to the starting position.
  8. Perform the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other leg.
