Sit down on the machine and rest your back against the back pad. Place your feet under the bottom leg pads and point your toes outward. This is your starting position.
Lift the weight up all the way until your legs are almost completely straight. Then, release the weight back down but remember not to go too far down as to allow the weight plates on the stack to bang into each other.
Finally, repeat the entire movement for the desired or prescribed number of repetitions.
