Leg Press Workout Weight Lifting Exercise for Beginners

Video Transcript

I am Kirt Watt on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip we are going to be doing the leg press. This is a selectorized weight press. There are several different kinds. This one will be for a beginner to do and do it easy. So, very simple, you got to get in the machine, get a nice comfortable seat, adjust the seat in position just like this, you want to be just below a 90-degree angle on the knee, notice how my knee is bend just be on a 90-degree angle. Keep a nice shoulder with distance between your feet, press the weight back nice and comfortable. Never locking out the knee, never want to bounce the knee up that puts a lot of impact on the knee and does not do it any good. So keep that little bit of bend, keep your back against the pad, bring the weight down nice and slow, exhale as you press up and inhale as you come down. Just like that nice and simple. Keep the heels down on the plate. Do not want to lift the heels up, puts a lot of impact in the knee. Keep the heels down, press down, press back. Now, on the legs I recommend you take sets a little higher than 15, 20 is what I recommend, just you are going to train the leg a little harder, give you a little more endurance, probably get your heart pump a little bit better too. So, just take your time, nice even movements, never popping the knees too hard, never leaning up too far, always keeping the back against the pad and that is a leg press.
