For this exercise you will need to use a leg extension machine. First choose your weight and sit on the machine with your legs under the pad (feet pointed forward) and the hands holding the side bars. This will be your starting position. Tip: You will need to adjust the pad so that it falls on top of your lower leg (just above your feet). Also, make sure that your legs form a 90-degree angle between the lower and upper leg. If the angle is less than 90-degrees then that means the knee is over the toes which in turn creates undue stress at the knee joint. If the machine is designed that way, either look for another machine or just make sure that when you start executing the exercise you stop going down once you hit the 90-degree angle.
- Using your quadriceps, extend your legs to the maximum as you exhale. Ensure that the rest of the body remains stationary on the seat. Pause a second on the contracted position.
- Slowly lower the weight back to the original position as you inhale

Leg Extensions

"- Begin standing with your feet about hip-width apart and holding dumbbells in your hands down by your side. This will be your starting position.
- Step forward with one leg, flexing the knees to drop your hips. Descend until your rear knee nearly touches the ground. Your posture should remain upright, and your front knee should be in line with your front foot. Do not allow your front knee to go forward beyond your toes as you come down, as this will put undue stress on the knee joint.
- Drive through the heel of your lead foot and extend both knees to raise yourself back up.
- Step forward with your rear foot, repeating the lunge on the opposite leg."

Dumbbell Walking Lunge

Superset 1

"- Begin in a standing position with a dumbbell in each hand. Ensure that your back is straight and stays that way for the duration of the exercise. Allow your arms to hang perpendicular to the floor, with the wrists pronated and the elbows pointed to your sides. This will be your starting position.
- Initiate the movement by flexing your hips, slowly pushing your butt as far back as you can. This should entail a horizontal movement of the hips, rather than a downward movement. The knees should only partially bend, and your weight should remain on your heels.
- Drive your butt back as far as you can, which should generate tension in your hamstrings as your hands approach knee level. Maintain an arch in your back throughout the exercise.
- When your hips cannot perform any further backward movement, pause, and then slowly return to the starting position by extending the hips."

Dumbbell Deadlifts

Grab one or two thin plates or use any sturdy surface that is a couple inches off the ground
Place just your heels on that elevated surface with your feet just about hip width apart.
Bend your knees and lower your body slowly until your glutes are in line with your knees.
While keeping your knees sturdy and now allowing them to come in, push through your heels keeping that upright torso, then begin to fully extend your knees.
Try it out with just bodyweight before adding any additional weight

Heel Elevated Goblet Squat

Superset 2

Begin by positioning a barbell at or just below shoulder level in the smith machine. Behind the squat rack, place a tall wooden box or chair or bench. Place yourself underneath the barbell. Make sure the bar is across your upper traps and NOT on your neck.
Place your feet outside of shoulder-width with your toes pointed slightly out. Brace your core and keep your chest up.
Bend at the knees as you drive your hips back. Lower yourself slowly until your butt touches the box. Pause then drive your hips forward to return to the starting position.

Box Squat on Smith

Step 1: From a standing start, step forward like a regular lunge.
Step 2: Lunge down partially, about a quarter of the way down as you would for a normal lunge. This is the starting position.
Step 3: Begin exercise by pulsing up and down, performing the lunge by going up and down about 3 inches or so. Be sure you are always in the lunge position and never standing up during the exercise.
Step 4: Complete for the desired number of repetition

Pulse lunges

Superset 3

Step 1: Sit down on a leg press machine and place your legs on the platform in front of you. Your feet should be positioned approximately three inches apart with the toes pointed straight.
Step 2: Lower the safety bars holding the platform in place. Press the platform all the way up until your legs are fully extended, without locking your knees. As you inhale, slowly lower the platform until your upper and lower legs make a 90-degree angle. This is the starting position.
Step 3: Slowly lower the platform until your upper and lower legs make a 90-degree angle.
Step 4: Push with the heels of your feet and use your quadriceps to go back to the starting position. Exhale as you do so.
Step 5: Repeat for the number of reps in your set. Make sure that the safety pins are locked properly once you have finished.
