About

It's a workout that can intensively train the muscles in the front of your thighs!

How to One Leg Extension

Starting Position

1. Position your body in the center of the machine and adjust it so that the back of your knees touches the edge of the pad.

2. Set the ankle pad to be above your ankles.

3. Pull your feet towards your body so that your ankles form a 90-degree angle.

4. Hold the handles and keep your hips and back pressed against the machine.

Proper Form

1. Please lift until your knee is fully extended.

2. Please contract from the front of your thigh near the knee up to the top of your thigh near the hip.

3. Slowly lower down until the angle of your knee is 90 degrees while resisting the weight.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. Please do not give any momentum as it may injure your knees.

2. Please be careful not to fully bend or straighten your knees.

3. Please be careful not to let your hips and back separate.
