The Positioning
• Adjust the leg pad comfortably behind the ankles.
• Check the weight to insure that the appropriate
resistance has been selected. Body position
and control of the motion should never be
compromised by excessive weight.
• Note the pivot point at the lower right corner of
the thigh pad.
• Align the knees with the pivot point while lying
prone on the machine. The top of the patella
should be at the edge of the thigh pad.
• With the ankles against the leg pad, position the
legs and feet parallel, ankles neutral and relaxed
or plantar flexed.
• Grip the handles and rest the forearms on the arm
pads.
• Stabilize the spine with the abdominals to prevent
hyperextension.
• Tighten the hamstrings and slightly lift the knees.
The Motion
• Smoothly flex the knees as far as possible without raising the knees further, without
elevating the hips, and without hyperextending the spine.
• Slowly return to a position near full extension and without resting or dropping the knees.
