How to do it
- Sit in the leg press and place the balls of your feet on the bottom edge of the platform, heels hanging off.
- Press the platform up until your legs are almost straight and release the safety handles, knees not locked.
- Push the platform away with your toes as far as you can, then pause.
- Slowly let the platform bring your toes back until you feel a stretch in your calves.
Beginner tip: Move only at your ankles and keep your knees still.
