Hip Flexion Machine Instructions

  1. Set the weight you want to use on a hip extension machine.
  2. Stand straight up in the machine with the front of your working leg against the padding. The padding should be positioned just above the knee.
  3. Keep both feet together and hold onto the machine handle with both hands for stability. This is the starting position.
  4. Slowly lift your working knee in front of your body by pushing against the padding. 
  5. Pause for a moment and slowly lower your leg back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for desired reps and then repeat using your alternate leg.
