If you want to burn fat and build a stronger lower body, you've to work your quads and leg extensions are the best way to work them. Here's how you do it:
Step 1: Choose your weight and sit on a leg extension machine with your legs under the pad, your hands holding the sidebars. This will be your starting position.
Step 2: Make sure your legs form a 90-degree angle between the lower and upper leg. Using your quadriceps, exhale and extend your legs while the rest of your body remains stationary on the seat.
Step 3: Pause a second in the contracted position, then inhale as you slowly lower the weight back to the original position, stopping right before the weight load touches the weight stack.
