| What to do: | Put weights on the leg press machine. Press the weight rack up as if you were going to do a leg press. Lock your knees and slide your feet down so that only the balls of your feet are on the rack and your heels are hanging off. Push with your toes and point the feet like a ballet stance pushing the rack along with you. Let the rack come back down bringing the toes closer to your body and repeat. |

| Don't Forget to: | Make sure the handles remain in the locked position. If your feet were to slip off the rack and you don't have the handles locked you can cause severe damage to your legs. ouch. Also, don't bounce the rack. Use the muscles slowly with control. | ||||
