Today I ventured out to try a new machine at the gym and this time I tried the leg press. Let me tell you, it knocked the wind out of me and I’m sure it was silly of me to try it with weight, being that it was my first time. I had 45 pound plates on each side and while I was able to lift them, I probably should have tried the machine empty on my first attempt.
The leg press works your quads, hamstrings, and glutes. It’s easy enough to use but like any machine, you need to watch your form. I knew enough to press with my heels and to have my feet at least shoulder width apart. If you are new to this machine, I highly recommend you get help first from a personal trainer or other expert.
I only did 2 sets of 12 reps and it kicked my butt! Check out the video below for an idea of proper usage:
