![](http://www.personalpowertraining.net/personaltrainingblog/uploaded_images/Chest-Press-780402.jpg)
Chest Press Machine
Use the horizontal handles and adjust the seat so the handles line up with your armpits and start pressing away.
Only come down to about chest level and extend up never locking your arms at the top.
Do 4 sets of 10 for a good workout for a beginning exercise program if you don't have a trainer this machine is a great thing to use at a gym for people that are not comfortable yet in the free weight area.

Leg Press
To Perform the Leg press correctly you want to place your feet at the top of the machine toes touching the top and about shoulder width apart. You want to make sure when you lower the machine and your legs your knee's never go past your toes. You want to go down about 90 degree's keeping consent resistance on your muscles. Never go down so low you don't feel your muscles working. As well as never lock out your joints at the top of the movement. You want to be sure to press up and down with the pressure of the resistance on your heals.
If you're a beginner and you're doing a full body exercise program do this exercise 3 times a week if you don't feel comfortable doing squats, lunges, or step ups. Do 10 reps the 1st day than 20 reps the 2nd day and than 6 reps the 3rd non consecutive day of your exercise program. Make sure you adjust your weights accordingly of course if your doing less weight you need heavier weight so you fatigue at that rep range and if you're exercise rep range is 20 you use a lighter weight that you fatigue at doing 20 reps.
Here's to learning and performing another fun easy exercise for you so you can get in great shape.
Muscles that this exercise works, pretty much all your lower body.

If you want success get the correct information. Unfortunately finding someone with the correct advice might force you to do some work, because there are millions of nutritionist, Dr’s, personal trainers, and other health practitioners that are not educated enough in this department to really help you.
9. Get a mission plan: A detailed plan on what you need to do, how many days of week, what exercises you need to do to lose weight, how to shop for your groceries, what foods to buy, and what to tell yourself. The more detailed plan of action you have the better success you will have.
