When doing exercise, we most often choose equipment to assist, because this way the exercise effect is more obvious. Regarding the exercise of different parts of the muscles, the equipment is also different, so we must first understand how to use the equipment, so that we can perform exercises better and ensure that there are no misunderstandings in exercise. So let’s take a look at what are the movements of leg training equipment?
Leg flexion and extension equipment movements
At the beginning, we sat upright On the bench of the leg extension machine, your back is against the back baffle and your legs are placed under the machine. Make sure our back is straight and our calves are perpendicular to the ground. At the beginning of the movement, we open our legs wide and exert upward force to push the equipment upward until our legs are straightened. We then retract the movement and return the legs to their original position. After adjusting your breathing status, start the next action again.
Back of the Neck Barbell Weighted Squat
This action is to fix the barbell on the muscles behind our neck. At this time, hold the barbell with both hands to ensure that it will not fall. After we open our legs and adjust our posture, we start to move. Bend your legs downward and squat. At this time, we grab the barbell with both hands, and you need to ensure that your back is always straight, do not arch your back upward, and then get up again. Continue to complete squatting movements in groups of 15, and insist on completing 2 to 3 groups.
Fixed equipment leg curl
This action is done by lying on the equipment. At first, our body was afraid of being on the stool of the equipment. At this time, the legs are placed under the horizontal bar of the equipment. After we adjust our posture, we use our calves to push the bar upward until our calves are bent to the maximum degree, and then we slowly return our legs. When the legs return to their original relaxed state and the posture is adjusted, we start again.
The above is about the methods of training the legs with equipment. These methods are more effective in exercising our legs, but we must pay attention to the fact that during the exercise, we must ensure that we do not get injured before doing it. It's best to do these exercises in the gym.
