What is a printing machine on your feet?
The foot printing machine is a piece of gym equipment used to strengthen the lower body, especially the legs. It is designed so that the user can easily and safely perform exercises that develop and isolate the use of certain leg muscles. For example, various exercises performed using a foot machine can strengthen quadriceps, front thighs, hamstrings, back of the thighs or gluteus muscles.
There are two basic types of leg pressing machines. The first type is a printing machine with sliding or suction. This device uses weighted discs that slide along a vertical or diagonal track. The user sits on the padded seat towards the ceiling under the weighted platform or sled on the track. When the individual is pushing up against the sled, the scales slip along the track and provide resistance. This device uses weighted discs that are raised by cable. The user sits in Padded sitting and pushing the legs forward against the plate. This board is connected to the cable and pulleys that will raise the mass in turnnation.
It is necessary to have the pressing machine to the height and strength of the user correctly adjusted correctly. If the machine is not adequately modified, not only the correct muscles will not be processed or reinforced, but could actually be damaged. To adjust the machine for pressing the legs, the user must sit in the seat with his feet approximately the width of the shoulder apart and the resting flat on the board. In this position, the legs should bend on their knees at about ninety degrees.
If the angle is greater than ninety degrees, the exercise will only work in the muscle range. In order to repair it, the seat must be moved closer to the foot plate, which brings the angle closer to ninety degrees. When the angle is too sharp, or less than ninety degrees, there will be too much stress on the joints. By moving the seats out or away from the push plate, the angle expands to be close to the desired ninety degreeat.
As with any training or routine exercise, do not forget to start slowly and gradually. Over time, the amount of weight used can be increased as the muscles adapt. If there is pain when performing any exercise, it should be stopped immediately.
