This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing how to properly use the leg press machine and make sure you are being safe and effective while doing so. The leg press machine is one of the most effective tools for building the strength and function of your leg muscles, but you need to make sure that it is being used correctly in order to minimize potential risks. Today, we want to talk to you about how to properly choose the seat position when using this machine.
Oftentimes when people use the leg press, they haphazardly choose where to set the seat. However, there are some key considerations you need to keep in mind in order to help your back, hips, knees, and ankles stay safe.
Not only will this tip help to keep your joints safe, it will also help to minimize the potential risks that can come from using the leg press, allowing you to continue to exercise consistently day after day.
Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss more considerations when using the leg press machine.
