Seated Leg Press; (Ss-Slp) - Life Fitness Insignia Series Owner's Manual

Seated Leg Press (SS-SLP)
Exercise
Muscles Used: Quadriceps, Hamstrings & Gluteus
Setup:
Adjust the start position, using the release lever located on the seat's left side, to the desired
range of motion. Position feet on the footplate hip width apart, with the feet turned out
slightly. Check the weight stack to ensure appropriate resistance. Grip the handles on the
sides of the seat and position body with chest-up, shoulders and head back against back pad.
NOTE: When positioning the feet on the footplate, ensure that the feet are placed so that the
knees do not move beyond the toes, as this places excessive stress on the knee joints.
Movement: With a controlled motion, extend the legs until the knees are slightly bent. DO NOT LOCK
THE KNEES. Return to the start position, without letting the resistance rest on the stack.
Repeat the motion, while maintaining proper body positioning.
TIP: While performing the exercise, think about extending the knees downward, as this
mental concentration increases the focus on the leg muscles.
NOTE: DO NOT sacrifice proper exercise form in order to utilize more resistance during the
exercise, as this can result in Serious Injury.
