Master the Leg Press

Let's kick off our lower body workout with the leg press. This machine is a gem for targeting your quads, hamstrings, and glutes all at once. Don't be intimidated by the weight - we're focusing on form and building a solid foundation here.

Simple Task

Before you start pushing, engage those core muscles. Think about pulling your belly button towards your spine. This isn't just for show - it stabilizes your spine and protects your lower back. Safety first, always!

Simple Task

Alright, let's get you set up on the leg press. First things first, sit down and adjust that seat. You want your knees at a 90-degree angle when the platform's closest to you. It might take a bit of fiddling, but getting this right is crucial for proper form.

Simple Task

Now, let's talk foot placement. Put your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform, toes pointing slightly outward. This position targets all the major muscles in your legs. Remember, your feet are your foundation here!

Simple Task

Throughout the exercise, keep your lower back pressed against the seat. And whatever you do, don't lock your knees at the top of the movement - that's a one-way ticket to injury town, and we don't want to go there!

Perform leg press sets

Timed Activities - 5m

Time to press! Push the platform away by extending your legs, then slowly lower it back down. Here's the key: keep tension in your muscles throughout the movement. We're aiming for 3 sets of 12-15 reps. Remember, it's not a race - focus on form over speed.

Fuel Your Recovery

Great work on that leg press! Now, let's focus on recovery. Remember, gains aren't just made in the gym - they're made in the kitchen too. We'll fuel up with the right nutrients to help those muscles recover and grow.

Simple Task

Alright, workout's done, but we're not finished yet! Your muscles are hungry after all that work. Choose a meal or snack that includes both protein and carbs. Think of it as refueling your car - you need the right mix to keep your engine running smoothly.

Simple Task

Here's a pro tip: try to eat within 3 hours of your workout. This is what we call the 'anabolic window' - it's when your body is primed to use those nutrients for muscle recovery and growth. Don't stress if you can't eat immediately, but try to hit this window if you can.

Enter a Number

Let's keep an eye on that protein intake. Aim for about 20-30 grams in your post-workout meal. This could be a chicken breast, a scoop of protein powder, or a couple of eggs. Enter the amount you consumed here - it's all about building awareness!
