Sit down on the leg machine and lean back against the back rest pad. Put your feet under the bottom leg pads and turn your feet inward pointing at each other. This is your starting position.
Lift the weight all the way up until your legs are almost completely straight. Then, release the weight back down to the starting position but remember not to lower it too far down as to make the weight plates on the weigh stack bang into each other; stop short of this happening.
Finally, repeat the entire movement for the desired or prescribed number of repetitions.
