Leg Extension Machine

What is it?
The Leg Extension isolates the quadriceps, making it an excellent exercise for building strength and muscle in the front of the thighs.

Primary Muscles Worked

  • Quadriceps

How to Use
Adjust the seat so your knees align with the machine's pivot point and position the roller pad just above your ankles. Extend your legs until they're almost straight before lowering the weight back under control.

Coaching Tips

  • Avoid locking your knees at the top.

  • Control the movement in both directions.

  • Keep your back against the seat.

  • Focus on squeezing your quadriceps at the top of each repetition.
