See how the leg sled works for you.


and yeah.. i guess i'll change your title.

well speaking as a soon to be physical therapist... ima say..do leg extensinos light weight single leg high rep go at the speed of 2 seconds to raise leg hold at extended point for 2 seconds then take 2 seconds to lower leg... wash rinse and repeat 15-20times for 3 sets

I know people with knee problems who if they even stand next to a leg extension machine, they will double over in pain.
