FAQs
The leg extension machine primarily targets the quadriceps, the large muscles at the front of the thighs. These muscles are responsible for extending the knee joint. While the focus is on the quadriceps, secondary engagement of the stabilising muscles around the knee joint and hip flexors may occur, though to a lesser extent.
The leg extension machine can pose challenges for individuals with knee problems due to the isolated stress it places on the knee joint. However, with proper adjustments to the machine and using lighter weights, it can be used safely under the guidance of a fitness professional or physical therapist. It’s important to monitor any discomfort and avoid locking out the knees during the movement to reduce unnecessary strain.
Yes, alternatives such as bodyweight or weighted squats, lunges, and step-ups also target the quadriceps effectively while engaging other muscle groups. These exercises may offer a more functional and natural range of motion, which can be beneficial for overall strength and joint health.
Incorporating the leg extension machine into your routine 1 to 3 times per week is sufficient, depending on your fitness goals. For muscle building, focus on moderate to heavy weights with fewer repetitions, while for endurance and toning, opt for lighter weights and higher repetitions. Always allow adequate rest between sessions to prevent overuse and promote recovery.
