Setup

Rest your back against the fixed seat and place your feet on the platform in front. Align your knees with your toes.

Keep your back and pelvis on the seat as you press the platform forward. The platform moves while the seat stays fixed.

STEP 3

End phase

Slowly bend your knees to bring the platform back toward you. Stop before your pelvis rolls.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Push the platform with your quads and glutes. Your hamstrings also assist.

Avoid letting your knees collapse inward or forcefully locking them. Keep your hips on the seat.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale as you press the platform and inhale as it returns.

STEP 7

Coach tip

This differs from a seated leg press with a moving seat. Keep your whole feet in contact throughout the platform's travel.
