Butterfly Life Fitness - Our Exclusive Fitness Equipment

Muscles Worked:
GLUTEUS MAXIMUS (buttocks)
QUADRICEPS (top of legs)
HAMSTRINGS (back of legs)

Adjust the weight stack to the proper level by pulling the pin out of the stack and inserting it in the selected plate.
To adjust the seat, sit on the seat with your feet on the foot plate. Pull the seat lever with the red ball toward you and press your legs out or in to adjust the seat as close as comfortable. Release the seat lever to set the seat in place.
Place the feet on the footplate, hip width apart, feet in a natural stance so the bend of the knee is at a 90-degree angle and the weight stack is slightly lifted. Feet must be high enough that knees are behind the line of the toes.
To begin the exercise, hold the handles on the sides of the seat. Slowly press on the footplate so the seat slides back and until legs are almost fully extended.
To complete the move, slowly release the contraction, returning the legs to the starting position.
Do not lock your joints in the straightened position, or allow the weights to slam down. You should keep a continuous resistance on the weights until the complete set is done.
The goal is to complete 15-25 repetitions in a 40-second time period.
