Sit with your back firmly against the seat, and place your feet flat on the board, about hip width apart. Your legs will be bent 90° at your knees. Your knees should be inline with your feet and should not be bending inwards or outwards.Exhale as you push the weight up (or away, if you are performing the seated leg press), making sure you don't lock your knees at the end of the motion(to avoid putting all the pressure on your knees). Inhale as you slowly bring the weight down(or back), making sure you are in complete control of the motion. Choose moderate weights to start with and progress gradually.

Famous quotes containing the words correct and/or form:
“who knows when what correct young woman must take up her body
And fly”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
“The old idea that the joke was not good enough for the company has been superseded by the new aristocratic idea that the company was not worthy of the joke. They have introduced an almost insane individualism into that one form of intercourse which is specially and uproariously communal. They have made even levities into secrets. They have made laughter lonelier than tears.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
