Leg Press With Partner

General And Specifics

• in this exercise, your partner is your training weight
• your partner should be able to hold the body in one line during the exercise
• make sure you cannot slip away

Starting Position

• lay on the ground of a fitness mat
• raise your legs to 60 degrees, so that your partner can lean against your soles with the front of his or her upper body
• the partner braces the abs
• position your feet in the middle of your partner's abs
• for more stability, the partner open the legs a bit

Correct Execution

• slowly bend both knees, your partner comes closer
• your thighs can touch your abs
• do not let the knees wander outwards, they have to be in a line with your feet
• invert the motion and push your partner back to the starting position
• do not stretch out the legs completely, this preserves the knee joints
• do several reps of the leg exercise
