Leg Extension

Leg extensions are an isolation exercise that targets the quadriceps muscles in the front of your thighs. To perform leg extensions using a lever machine, follow these steps:

1. Adjust the seat and the pad of the machine so that your knees are aligned with the pivot point and the pad rests on your lower shins.
2. Sit on the seat with your back straight and hold the handles on the sides for stability.
3. Extend your legs until they are fully straightened, squeezing your quads at the top of the movement.
4. Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position, without letting the weight stack touch down.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
