What are the equipment for exercising leg muscles
1. Reverse pedaling machine
During the entire backward kick movement, the range of motion of the hip joint is limited and reduced, and the thigh and torso are almost at a right angle during training. Therefore, the weight originally applied to the hamstring and gluteus maximus muscles will be correspondingly transferred to the quadriceps.
2. Kicking machine
Kicking machines require higher flexibility of the hip joint, and at the same time, the range of motion of the hip will be larger. During the kicking process, because the load is not large, the knee joint can remain stable. In this way, the training stimulation will be more focused on the gluteus maximus and hamstring muscles behind the thighs.
3. Barbell
Load bearing squat. Squatting barbells play an irreplaceable role in bodybuilding training, mainly training the muscles in the front of the thighs, while also having an exercise effect on the back of the thighs, calves, buttocks, and waist.

Action 1: Use fixed instruments to bend and extend legs while sitting, gradually increasing the weight used. Each group should do 12-10 times;

Action 4: Stand up and use fixed equipment to do a deep squat, gradually increasing the weight used. Each group should do it 15-8 times;
Action 5: Use fixed equipment to do leg bending exercises, gradually increasing the weight used, with each group doing 12-10 times.
