Machine Outdoor Seated Leg Press
The seated leg press on an outdoor park station: pushing the foot plates moves the seat and the body on it, so the load is your own weight.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the station, hands on the handles, feet flat on the plates, knees bent.
Steps
- Press the plates until the legs are nearly straight, the seat swinging back.
- Pause without locking the knees.
- Let the seat return slowly to the start.
Common mistakes
Letting the seat crash back down: control the return; it is half the rep. Pulling on the handles to help: they only hold you in place. Knees snapping straight: stop just short.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
