How Do You Use Weight Training Machines?
If you have never used weight machines before, it can be somewhat intimidating to approach them for the first time. There are many different kinds with adjustable parts and sometimes large weight plates. In fact, even those who have been using weight training machines for some time might encounter one they do not know how to use. Yet these machines are safer for most than free weights and can save time. If you are methodical and careful, you can effectively and safely use weight training machines. Look for diagrams or explanations on the machines. Many weight-training machines have picture on them of how they are used and which muscle groups are being worked. If there is no picture, there may be an explanation. Study and read these to get information about how the machine is used and why. If the machine is older, the information may not be legible or could be gone completely. But even the name of the machine, e.g., leg extension, will give you an idea of how to use it.
