Right now, we are here to work on the leg muscles and when we are talking about leg muscles we are primarily talking about quadriceps especially when we are focusing on our leg extension machine. Now this leg extension machine is a common leg extension machine you can find in most health clubs. There are a couple of adjustments in this leg extension machine. One adjustment is back here. I pulled this adjustment out we can adjust the seat forward or further back. What we want to make sure is that when we sit down in this sit that is our on back and our knee is lined up for our pivot point.
Next thing we are going to do make sure that this pad here is right at our ankles. We can adjust that by using this adjustment right down here and as you nailed that right here we bring it up right in front of our ankles. Once our knee is lined up with our pivot point that is our axis we draw abs in and to make sure to keep core muscles tight and we just breathe out as we lift straight up, primary muscles, quadriceps.
Once again, if you are looking for moderate muscle gain it is eight to ten repetitions and if you are looking for muscle endurance and toning it is ten to twelve repetitions. You just keep on going; make sure you breathe out every time you lift straight up.
