Muscle Group: Legs
Notes:
Lowering the weight below 90 degrees at the knee joint places the knee under considerable stress and should be avoided!
--------------------------------
Step 1
Place feet hip width apart on foot platform.
Position thighs, lower legs, and feet parallel to each other.
Keep butt on thigh pad and back flat against back pad.
Straighten legs (knees still slightly bent).
Step 2
Slowly bend the knees until a 90 degree angle is achieved at the knee joint, keeping feet flat.
When angle is achieved, push forward on foot platform.
Keep thighs, lower legs, and feet parallel to each other.
Avoid forcefully locking out knees.
