Position: Lay flat on the machine with the knee caps off the end of the thigh pad. The leg pad should be above the ankle joint, not on the heel. Grasp handles provided for stability.
Breathing: Exhale when you exert at the start of the exercise and inhale when returning to start position.
Start/Movement/Finish: Lying flat with the legs extended. Bend the knees in a controlled movement so that the heels come as close to the butt as the machine or your flexibility allow. Lower under control, trying not to allow the weights to come to a rest.
