Type: Unilateral Rest: 180s Equipment: Beinbeuger sitzend

Tutorial

1

Adjust the machine to suit you and get into the starting position. Hold on to the handles with your hands.
2

Position your thighs on the pad and your heels in front of the foot roll. Your legs are almost fully extended.
3

Bend your left knee joint forcefully by pushing your heel back against the pad. Move backwards until the maximum contraction is reached. Hold the position briefly and exhale.
4

Stretch your left knee slowly and in a controlled manner until your leg is stretched again and you are in the starting position.
5

One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions and change sides after a short break

Tip

Do not fully straighten your legs and bring your heels as far back as possible. Your knee joint should be in line with the machine's pivot joint. Make sure that the roller is not directly above your knee, but slightly behind it on your thigh. Sit with your back completely against the backrest and make sure that you do not have a hunched back.
