Challenge yourself.  Make sure you’re increasing your weight without compromising your form

- Step one leg back behind the other leg
- Bring your knee down until it reaches 90 degrees
- Push through your front leg to bring your back leg forward to starting position 
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Curtsy lunge

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

Perform both exercises back to back.  Take a break after both exercises have been performed

Increase weight on the leg press machine after every set

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.

Narrow stance leg press

From a standing position, take a long step forwards as if performing a lunge. The heel of your back foot should be raised. Keeping your torso straight, lower slowly until your back knee almost touches the floor, then push back up. Complete all your reps on one leg, then switch to the other. Keep your knees in line with your toes, especially on the front leg, and don’t let the front knee stray past your foot as you lower.

Split squat

Superset

Adjust the bar of the Smith Machine so that it's at shoulder height. Ultimately, the height will be different for everyone, and you may need to raise or lower it.
Start with a loaded bar; 10-pound plates on each side is a great starting point. Beginners should start with just the bar and gradually add weight as they become familiar with the movement.
Position your hands about shoulder-width apart on the bar, and lightly grip the bar with an overhand grip.
Step in front of the rack, and rest the bar on your trapezius muscles (the muscles closest to your neck/upper back).
With your feet about hip-distance apart, unlock the bar by lifting it up and forward.
Shift your weight back into your heels. Brace your abs as you begin to lower into a squat, keeping your head and spine in a neutral position. Your knees should be as close to 90 degrees as possible. Hold for one second.
With your core still braced, drive through your heels to stand back up.

Back Squat on Smith

Set the barbell to the bottom of the Smith machine.
Get into the glute bridge position by creating a triangle shape between your upper and lower legs while lying on the floor.
Centre the bar over your hips.
Extend your hips to unrack the bar and push them upwards until you can't go any higher without hyperextending your lower back.
Hold the contraction for a second or two.
Slowly lower your hips down slightly

Kas Glute Bridge

Load the machine with the appropriate weight, we recommend starting light or even no weight just to get the technique right first.
Sit on the machine placing only your toes and the balls of your feet on the platform.
Lower the lever pads onto your lower thighs, don’t have it too tight or too loose.
Lift the weight up slightly so you can release the safety bar.
Lower your heels until your calves are fully stretched out, whilst inhaling simultaneously.
Raise your heels by pushing up on your toes and the balls of your feet, go as high as possible and hold at the top for about a second. Exhale during this movement.
Repeat the process until you reach your desired number of reps.
