Adjust the leg pads so they are snug against your legs, just above the knees. Make sure the lever is at a comfortable starting position without causing strain.
Hold onto the handles of the machine for support, and then slowly push your legs outwards against the pads using your hip muscles.
Once you have pushed your legs out as far as you can comfortably go, hold the position for a moment to maximize muscle engagement.
Slowly bring your legs back together to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement to complete one repetition.
Pro Tip
Controlled Motion: It's important to perform the exercise in a slow and controlled manner. Avoid the tendency to use momentum to swing your legs apart. Instead, focus on using your hip muscles to control the movement. This will help to engage the targeted muscles more effectively and reduce the risk of injury. Appropriate Weight: Another common mistake is using too much weight. Start with a lower weight to ensure you can perform the exercise with proper form. As your strength improves, gradually increase the weight. Using too much weight can lead to poor form and increase the risk of injury.
