# Leg Extension

Trains: Quadriceps

Image: EGYM Leg Extension — strength machine for legs, trains quadriceps (https://fitsquare.nl/assets/egym-leg-extension-gFn30OPF.png)

## What does this machine do?

The Leg Extension isolates your quadriceps — the large muscle group at the front of your thighs. This machine is ideal for targeted strength building in your knee extensors, which is essential for stability and everyday movements.

## Benefits

- Isolation exercise for maximum focus on your quads
- Strengthens the knee joint and improves stability
- Important for rehabilitation after knee injuries
- Helps prevent knee complaints later in life

## Muscles trained

Quadriceps (rectus femoris) Vastus lateralis Vastus medialis

## How does it work?

After scanning your wristband the machine sets itself up automatically. Sit down, hook your ankles behind the pad and extend your legs. The EGYM screen shows the right speed and optimal range of motion.

## Tips for the best execution

- 1 Move in a controlled way — no swinging motions
- 2 Focus on the contraction at the top of the movement
- 3 Keep your back firmly against the backrest
