Leg Extension - This exercise will work your quadriceps.

To begin, choose the amount of weight you wish to use before mounting the machine. Sit in the machine. The ankle pad should rest just on top of your ankles and should not touch your feet at all. Your feet should be flexed upward. The seat should directly behind your knees with no space.  This is your starting position.

- Lift your legs as high as you can while flexing your quads. This ensures that you correctly isolate these muscles. Exhale as your legs come up. It is important to keep the rest of your body still and to hold the fully contracted position for a moment.

- Keep the focus on your quads as you slowly lower your legs back to the starting position.
