Follow These Steps:
Step 1. While sitting on a leg press machine, position your legs on the press. Your legs should be about shoulder width apart. Make any adjustments needed for your height. If there is a safety bar, release it and extend your legs making sure not to lock your knees as this could cause you injuries. The balls of your feet should be on the lower part of the press and the heel of your feet should extend off the press pad. This will be your starting position.
Step 2. Exhale as you press the ball of your feet into the press pad. Lift your heels off the edge of the press pad. Feel the stretch and squeeze your calves. Hold the contraction for about one to two seconds.
Step 3. Inhale as you slowly return to the starting position.
Step 4: Repeat step 2 and step 3 to complete your reps. Rest between sets.
Step 5: Repeat to complete your sets.
