Lever Outdoor Seated Leg Press

Expert Advice

Drive through your heels to fully activate your quads and hamstrings, and avoid locking your knees at the top of the movement.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Sit down on the leg press machine and place your feet on the platform in front of you, shoulder-width apart.
  2. Adjust the seat so that your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.
  3. Grasp the handles for stability and keep your back pressed against the seat.
  4. Press the platform away by extending your legs, but do not lock your knees.
  5. Slowly return to the starting position by bending your knees.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
