First, standardize actions and proceed step by step.
1, just started training, it is not appropriate to do intensive exercises. Put your legs on a waist-high object, sit back with your hips flat, support your legs perpendicular to the ground, keep your knees straight, be hooked by leg press's toes and consciously move backwards, and move your upper body forward forcibly, so that you will be in a straight line by leg press.
The toe hook is beneficial to lengthen the ligaments, tendons and muscles of the legs, and the upper body moves forward to lengthen the trunk, especially the spine. Press one leg for a few minutes, and then change the other leg. After a few days, the leg muscles become soft and elastic, and you can move on to the next step.
2. leg press and the supporting legs are straight, and leg press's knees are pressed with both hands, so that the body leans forward as far as possible, so as to enhance the extensibility of the fossa muscles behind the knee joint.
3. Press leg press's knees with your hands, sit back with your hips, press your upper body forward, and try to make your abdomen stick to your thighs. After this step is completed, you can practice the next step;
4. Hold leg press's calf with both hands from below, press the upper body forward, and try to make the abdomen stick to the thigh and the chest stick to the knee. After completing this step, you can continue to the next exercise.
5, supported by leg press, straighten your legs, hold your feet with your hands, stick your abdomen to your thighs, stick your chest to your knees, and try to touch your toes with your forehead. After completing this step, you can continue to the next exercise.
6. Move your feet with your hands, stick your abdomen to your thighs, stick your chest to your knees, and try to touch your toes with your mouth. After completing this step, proceed to the next step.
7. Hold the soles of your feet with both hands and touch your toes with your chin as described above. After this step is completed, it indicates that the positive pressure section has been completed.
Only by practicing step by step can the trunk and legs form a one-to-one relationship, such as abdomen and thighs, chest and knees, head and toes in turn, so as to avoid the gap between trunk and legs.

Pay attention to key points
1, from light to heavy, from low to high
In leg press, the body exerts pressure on the ligaments, tendons and muscles of the legs. At the beginning of training, the strength should be light, and after a period of training, the pressure can gradually increase; If gravity is applied at the beginning, it may last for a day or two, and it may be difficult to walk on the third or fourth day. The height of the legs should be from low to high. Put your legs waist high and when your chin touches your toes, you can put your legs on something chest high. When your toes touch your chin, you can put your legs on the shoulder-height object until you put your feet on the head-height object.
2. Pull first and then press, from near to far
Leg press, a beginner, suddenly stretched hard because of the poor ductility of the ligaments, tendons and muscles in his leg, which was not only futile, but also hurt the ligaments. Therefore, at the beginning of training, we should first lengthen the leg ligaments, tendons, muscles and spine, and then apply vibration and pressure; Vibration and compression should also be carried out once, and we should not rush for success. When you are in leg press, you should also pay attention to the contact between the trunk and legs from near to far. The contact sequence of the corresponding parts of trunk and leg is: trunk: abdomen-chest-head and leg: thigh-knee-toe. Don't touch your toes with your head in the first place.
3. Strong will and perseverance.
It's really boring to practice leg flexibility, especially to a certain extent, which will cause pain in the legs and buttocks. This is a "fatigue period" similar to that of long-distance runners. At this time, the most important thing is to have a strong will and a bitter heart and never stop.
Compared with other qualities of leg technique, the flexibility of leg technique is easy to develop and fade. At this time, we should be good at self-regulation, appropriately reduce downward pressure, reduce leg press time, or do kicking exercises, combined with pressure kicking, etc. As long as you persist, the pain will gradually disappear, and then you will be excited about your achievements.
5. Get ready for activities before pressing.
Before practice, you can do some warm-up activities of waist, hip, knee, ankle and leg muscles. Because the extensibility of muscles and ligaments is related to the temperature of muscles, warm-up activities can improve the warmth of muscles and reduce the viscosity inside muscles, which is beneficial to the flexibility practice of legs.
