LEG MACHINES...... THE FOUNDATION OF STRENGTH
Training the lower body is essential for performance, speed and total body strength. Great leg strength is the foundation of athletic excellence. Professional athletes in just about every sport know that almost every movement begins with a powerful leg drive.
Over 65% of the body's muscle mass resides in the lower body. By design, the leg muscles are the strongest muscle group, they burn more fat than any other part of the body, they can carry enormous weight for long distances and support the rest of the body through most non-leg related exercises. To say that thorough strength training for the legs will benefit the whole body is an understatement. LEG EXTENSION/LEG CURL MACHINES
Leg extensions and leg curls produce so many benefits, they are high priority exercises with trainers, bodybuilders, coaches and just about any fitness professional you can name. These exercises define the front and back of the leg. They strengthen the knees, hamstrings, quadriceps and glutes. They also serve to protect the knee and joints from stress and injury.
LEG PRESS/HACK SQUAT
Build an explosive lower body, and stay that way, make your workouts incredibly Powerful... Comfortable... and Safe. As you work your quads, glutes and calves, on a Leg Press / Hack Squat Machine your bones and joints are spared unnecessary stress and strain.
SEATED CALF RAISE MACHINES
Well-proportioned calves are essential for an impressive leg profile. They are also considered to be the most difficult muscle to develop. Calves respond well to heavy weight when trained with a full pre-stretch and a full range of motion. The seated calf raise is a great exercise for developing powerful calves comfortably and safely. There is no heavy bar to balance and support on your shoulders.
