Designed to appeal to everyone from novices to a club’s strongest members, the 24-piece Precor Discovery Series selectorized line includes four pieces that feature Advanced Movement Design. Advanced Movement Design is a progressive platform that encourages exercisers to challenge their muscles through a wider range of motion. Through core engagement, stabilization, and improved joint range of motion, exercisers build more muscle fibers. The entire Discovery Series is designed to make it simple for novices to get started while delivering experienced exercisers the performance they demand. Color-coded cues, low starting weights, and QR code instructional videos ensure a beginner knows what to do when he or she engages a piece of equipment. The sturdy construction and range of resistance ensures athletes stay challenged and don’t outgrow machines.
A Precor Discovery Series Seated Leg Press is, and can best be described as follows: A Leg Press is a plate-loaded or selectorized strength station designed to work the leg muscles and is available in 45 Degree, Seated, or Horizontal configurations. The 45 Degree and Seated Leg Presses place the user in an angled or upright seated position in front of a large movable foot platform. Once the weight is loaded or selected the user places the feet shoulder width apart on the platform and pushes it away from the body by extending the knees and hips. A Horizontal Leg Press is comprised of a movable horizontal carriage with an angled head pad, pads to brace the shoulders, and a large foot plate. The user lies in a supine position with the feet placed shoulder width apart on the foot plate, creating a 90 degree angle between the calves and Hamstrings, and lifts the loaded or selected weight by pushing against the plate.
