Sled Side Leg Press
Positioning
1. Adjust the machine: Make sure the sled is at a comfortable height for you. The weight should be appropriate for your fitness level; start lighter if you’re a beginner.
2. Sit on the sled: Sit sideways on the sled, positioning your back against the padded support. Your legs should be extended straight in front of you.
3. Place your feet: Position the foot that will be doing the pressing on the sled platform. Your foot should be flat. The other leg can rest on the ground or hover slightly above it.
Movement
1. Starting Position: With your foot flat on the sled, keep your core engaged. Your knee should be aligned with your ankle.
2. Press the sled: Push through your heel, extending your leg outward. Keep the movement controlled and avoid locking your knee at the top of the movement.
3. Return to Starting Position: Slowly bring your leg back towards your body, controlling the weight as you do so. Make sure to maintain alignment throughout the movement.
4. Repetition: Perform the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
Tips for Beginners
- Start with light weights to focus on form and control.
- Keep your movements slow and steady to avoid injury.
- Ensure your back remains flat against the machine throughout the exercise.
- Breathe out as you press the sled and breathe in as you return to the starting position.
