Leg Extension And Curl Machine, Adjustable Leg Exercise

A Leg Curl/Leg Extension Machine with an Iron Weight Stack is a specialized piece of fitness equipment typically found in commercial gyms, designed for isolating and strengthening the muscles in the lower body, specifically the quadriceps (front thigh muscles) and hamstrings (back thigh muscles).

Leg Curl:

• Target Muscle: Hamstrings (back of the thighs).

• Exercise Setup:

  • Seated Leg Curl: The user sits on the machine with the thighs resting on the seat pad and the feet secured under the lower leg pad. The user then bends their knees to pull the pad down.

  • Lying Leg Curl: The user lies face down on the machine with the ankles under a padded bar, then curls their legs upward to engage the hamstrings.

• Benefits:

  • Excellent for strengthening the hamstrings.

  • Helps with muscle balance and knee stability.

  • Prevents injury by targeting the opposing muscle group to the quadriceps.
