Leg Extension Video Exercise Guide

The seated leg extension is an isolation exercise and one used to target the muscles of the quads.

This exercise can be particularly hard on the knees. So, for those with prior knee issues, it may be beneficial to stick with other movements, preferably compound, to target your quads.

The leg extension is a great exercise for quad development and may be beneficial to include in your workout routines if your goals are more aesthetics-driven.

The leg extension can be utilized in both leg workouts and full body workouts.
