ABOUT

With this machine, you’re set on doing the leg extension without any problem. Just select the appropriate weight to avoid knee injuries. 

The leg extension is almost exclusively an exercise for developing the four muscles that make up the quadriceps. 

These include: 

• Vastus medialis 
• Vastus lateralis 
• Vastus intermedius 
• Rectus femoris 

Excellent for unilateral training 

• The leg extension provides an excellent opportunity to train unilaterally (one side of your body or one limb at a time). 
• Unilateral training is a great way to address muscular imbalances. Unilateral movements better engage the core and improve unilateral-specific strength 

Leg extensions are great for rehabbing 

• People Can exercise the quads without risking straining the tendons and ligaments around the knee. 
• The leg press is another good example of an exercise that allows you to place individualized and controlled load on the knee.
