Omg im sooo grateful for your guide playlist on how to use machines in the gym!!! please continue teaching more equipment in the gym, I plan on having a gym membership next month if possible after my exams, but im still really not confident and don't know how to use any equipment, hope your videos can help me!
Good video. The seated one is the same as the one at my gym, it seems obvious now you say it but my leg position was wrong, can't wait until my next visit and I will position myself as though I am doing a squat.
I love your "how to" videos. I just found your channel this week and already worked up the courage to use a few machines at the gym that I had never used before! Thank you so much
Hannah Elsie Anything specific with the cable machine? Ie: upper body, lower body, specific exercises, etc. I go over how to generally use the cable machine in my “How to Use Gym Equipment” video. 😊
Queen!!! Yes I’ve been looking for videos like this! I am so scared to ask other people and the gym staff! You caught my attention today and I am definitely hitting more machines tomorrow !
Thanks girl!!!! It’s been 18 days since a ive been going to gym. Trying to loose weight which I lost 16 pounds still new to the gym. I’m wanting to loose my back fat and my stomach any good machines at gym that can help?
I’ve been looking for this answer everywhere…I wasn’t sure if you had to put weight on both sides since the whole machine is connected. I’ve been using all the hammer strength machines wrong for weeks 😣
Another high caliber video Naomi !!! 👍😊 Proper form is so important for effectiveness and avoiding injuries. So among all the leg / glutes exercises out there, do you have a favorite ??
Are the leg press and seated leg press equivalent? My antrenament says leg press, but my gym only has seated leg press. Am i good, or should i change the exercise?
Thank you for this video! I've been wanting to use the squat press for a while now, but worried to use it because I didn't know how to lock and unlock the weight. 😁👍
thank you so much! i do have a question though, are these two machine targets the same muscle? and what's the differences? my trainer always told me to use the seated leg press while my friend told me to do the regular machineb and i didn't really know why
They will target the same muscles! The Seated Leg Press will be a little easier on the knees while the Leg Press will have a little more pressure on the knees-both are great, it just comes down to your personal preference and if you have any injuries/limitations! 🙌🏼
With the seated leg press- are your knees supposed to be in line with your toes at the starting position or slightly below? Or are they supposed to go over your feet like when squatting with a barbell?
How bent should my knees be in the beginning? If I get the seat super close and go up all the way, I can feel it in my flutes more which is what I want. But is that bad for my knees?
Hey just a quick question to the people in the comments: How heavy are you and how much can you press? I would kind of like to know what the average is for that excersice. Would be great if you could help me.🙈
Hey, Judith! ✨ I always recommend starting with the lightest weight possible, and when you can comfortably perform 12-15 reps with proper form, then increase the weight. For this instance, use no additional weight at all, see how that feels, and if you think you could comfortably add more weight, I’d say start with a 25lb plate on each side and then go up from there following the above recommendation. 🙌🏼 There is no “right” or “standard” amount of weight to use for any exercise as everyone’s starting point will be so different and you truly just want to start where you yourself are at and go from there. The only “wrong” amount of weight to use is one that compromises your form and makes you prone to injury. ☺️
@@naomikong Wow thanks for your quick reply.🤗 But I'm not actually a beginner. I've been lifting for a year now (not always regulary though) and I would love to know how much people in my weightclass are lifting just to know where I am in the spectrum. I am always working out on my own in a gym where there are mostly men, so I don't know what the female standard is. For example: I weigh 73kg and I can do 5 slow and clean reps with 250kg at the moment. Is that good? (Sorry I don't want to fish for compliments or anything I just have no clue how much that is worth...😅)
i love your videos naomi, they're sooo helpful but please work on your diction, sometimes its hard to understand the word u r saying. i think if you spoke slower you'd be easier to understand and it wouldn't sound like you're reading a piece of paper fast, anyways love your videos thank u for the amazing job xoxo
great video but science has shown that locking knees under a manageable load not only works the muscle through a full range of motion but actually strengthens joints
This is exactly ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size. Only downsides are that the right oeddale unscrews itself while I use it and increasing the tension causes it to squeak while in use. Both are minor issues that aren't that important to me. So I give it 5 stars.
Here’s to learning new things in 2019! 💃🏻 What machine should we go over next??
light moon Yes, that is on my list of videos to do! 👌🏼
Hip thrusts with and without the smith machine please!
Heidy Moreno Yes, I’ve just filmed a how to Hip Thrust video this weekend and will be putting it out soon! 🙌🏼

Sherena Ng You got this, babe! ❤️🙌🏼

I almost got squished by it 😂😂

@@ChooseHonor damnnn i didnt realize its been 9 months since i commented this! ive been using this machine every day now i love it

Your how to use gym equipment is very useful! I was a newbie 6 months back and these videos helped me overcome my gym anxiety so much
Your videos just makes me more and more confident in the gym I just wanna say thank you for posting videos like this
This is one of the best how to videos. I appreciate that you are very articulate and your videos are short and to the point.
Excellence- Joie Cheberur Awh, thank you sm! 🥰

I love this type of leg press, one of the best machines for someone with bad knees.
Yes, it’s great! 🙌🏼
Very Helpful.
Thank you.
Wish you talked about what does a this equipment do, results etc.
Best video EVER!! Can’t wait for more of the series love this is such a good one! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Julie Rianne Awh, Thank u, babe! Ly. 🥰❤️🙏🏼😘
Cable machine 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@naomikong lower body please!! how to change out attachments, i'm sure its obvious but i get confused haha
Just found your channel! You are giving me the confidence and knowledge that I need to use the machines at my gym. Thank you!!!
Queen!!! Yes I’ve been looking for videos like this! I am so scared to ask other people and the gym staff! You caught my attention today and I am definitely hitting more machines tomorrow !
So proud of you for raking the next step! Keep on killin it! 🤩🙌🏼🙏🏼

Valarie Perez Check out the “Fit Tips” story highlight on my IG page! I have a ton a ton of answers to questions about weight/fat loss there! 💕
What’s the difference between our feet being straight vs them being slightly turned out? Does it work a different muscle?
Omg thank you!!! I've been trying to use that machine and my back is always hurting afterward this will help so much
Thanks queen for teaching me how to use the smith machine
Girl you always come thru! S/o to you for keeping us from embarrassing ourselves🥺💗
Cant belife I had done 160 leg press miss it so much taken me a long time to do this build it up
I’ve been looking for this answer everywhere…I wasn’t sure if you had to put weight on both sides since the whole machine is connected. I’ve been using all the hammer strength machines wrong for weeks 😣
Another high caliber video Naomi !!! 👍😊 Proper form is so important for effectiveness and avoiding injuries. So among all the leg / glutes exercises out there, do you have a favorite ??
Vindicator Thank you! And yes, agreed! 🙌🏼🙏🏼 They each have their own strengths. Compound movements will always have my heart, tho. 🔥🔥
Ironically you chose 1 of the best leg press machines ever (cybex squat press). Great video
Why is that ironic? Isn’t she making a video on how to use leg press machines?
I’m currently at the Gym eyeing the angled leg press machine
I just left the gym & couldn't reach the handles on the leg press because im too short 😂 I thought I could adjust them but didnt know how
What is the difference between the machines? I always thought they were the same lol
Yeah ithought so too. But the seated leg press (second one) use glutes as well
The first machine has me confused how do you adjust the right height because i’m small..
Are the leg press and seated leg press equivalent? My antrenament says leg press, but my gym only has seated leg press. Am i good, or should i change the exercise?
Thanks for your information, very helpful.
Its a great demo for sure, but I would like to know which muscles get involved with each exercise. Ta.
Thank you for this video! I've been wanting to use the squat press for a while now, but worried to use it because I didn't know how to lock and unlock the weight. 😁👍
Kelsey Stapleton Of course! Go out there and get it, girl! 💪🏼💪🏼
Naomi can you do a video explaining what a rep is
Hey how old do you have to be to use this??? I want to get fit young so I will stay healthy and so I can plays my sport better!!!
thank you so much! i do have a question though, are these two machine targets the same muscle? and what's the differences? my trainer always told me to use the seated leg press while my friend told me to do the regular machineb and i didn't really know why
They will target the same muscles! The Seated Leg Press will be a little easier on the knees while the Leg Press will have a little more pressure on the knees-both are great, it just comes down to your personal preference and if you have any injuries/limitations! 🙌🏼
Yesterday I did it in empty weight for first time for 10 time 2 set but there is numbers I put in 2 I no idea if it right
With the seated leg press- are your knees supposed to be in line with your toes at the starting position or slightly below? Or are they supposed to go over your feet like when squatting with a barbell?
Hmmm I know it depends on what you want to target more. If they’re father apart it’ll hit flutes more, more narrow hits quads more
THANK YOU FOR THAT TIP FOR SHORT GIRLS!!! I have no clue where to put my hands and stopped going to gym because of it
I want to ask you is there any warm out before doing this workout because when I do it my joints also my Arm tendons even the weight the lowest
Not one video told me if my knees should be bent when im up or not ? Like soft knees or no
Thank you for this, My knees are weak and I m trying to lose weight in my thighs 🤦🏾♀️
It’s my one of favourite experience
How bent should my knees be in the beginning? If I get the seat super close and go up all the way, I can feel it in my flutes more which is what I want. But is that bad for my knees?
Thanks 😍😍😍 new subscriber❤️❤️
Subscribed just because you’re so pretty ! ♥️
Such a informative video p.s ur so pretty, love from pakistan
Every since my hip popped and I fell straight down on the squat rack ive always been afraid to use this
why do i feel it on my knees while doing this?
It's my favorite machine 😍
Can u lift the same amount of weight on the squad press ass u do on the leg press?

Idaly Aleman Thank you! 💕

you're WRONG in assuming that all machines are the same. different machines will have the safety latch in different places and operated differently
I SHOULD NOT HAVE LOOKED UP LEG PRESS LEG BREAK
great video but science has shown that locking knees under a manageable load not only works the muscle through a full range of motion but actually strengthens joints
that's not locking the knees. that's rapidly pressing. it's perfectly acceptable to lock the knees for a moment.
This is exactly ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size.
