Exercise Description

The toes in leg extension exercise hits your quads hard while adding calf work. It builds stronger legs and better muscle control than regular leg extensions.

How To

1. Sit on the leg extension machine with your back flat against the pad and adjust the weight. 2. Position your feet under the ankle pads with toes pointed up toward your shins for the toes in leg extension setup. 3. Grip the side handles and slowly extend your legs until they're straight, keeping your toes flexed up. 4. Hold the top position for one second, feeling the burn in your quads and calves. 5. Lower the weight slowly back to starting position, maintaining the toes in leg extension form throughout.

Form Tips

• Keep your toes pulled back toward your shins throughout the entire toes in leg extension movement for maximum muscle activation. • Don't let your back arch or lift off the pad during the exercise. • Control the weight on both the up and down phases - no jerky movements. • Keep your core tight and breathe out as you extend your legs in the toes in leg extension.

Common Mistakes

• Letting your toes point down instead of staying flexed up, which kills the whole point of the toes in leg extension exercise. • Using too much weight and swinging the legs up with momentum instead of controlled muscle power. • Rushing through reps without holding the top position in your toes in leg extension sets.
