45 Degree Leg Press Narrow Stance

1. First ensure that the 45 degree leg press is properly set.
2. Sit in the machine and place your feet on the plate keeping a tight position.
3. Unhook the lock bars by gently pressing the footrest away from you. At this point, you'll bear all the weight, so make sure your knees are not locked and your joints remain slightly flexed. This will be your starting position.
4. As you inhale, slowly lower the plate until your thighs and calves form a 90 degree angle.
5. As you exhale, press through your heels to push the foot plate away from you, engaging your quadriceps and glutes.
6. Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of reps and make sure to lock the safety pins properly once you have finished.

Caution: Always lock the safety bars securely once you have finished.
