Firstly you will have to adjust the seat of a decline leg press machine to a 45% angle and then sit with feet hip width apart and legs straight but not locked out. Contract your abs and keep your back and shoulders against the pad, do not round your shoulders. Grasp the handles, release the foot locks and bend your knees towards your chest until they are in line with your hips. Pressing through your heels straighten your legs while keeping your knees aligned with your feet. Slowly return to the start position and repeat. The
leg press
exerise concentrates on the quads, hamstrings and glutes. With this exercise as you get better at it and can do the exercise with perfect form, you will be able to put your feet in different positions to hit different parts of your legs.
