This is the excruciating moment a woman snaps her leg bone while at the gym.

The unidentified woman cries in pain as her bone snaps, moments after she lifts a heavy weight using a leg press.

A leg press is a machine used in strength or resistance training. It requires a person to push weight away therefore engaging their leg muscles.

But when the woman she is halfway through her second repetition, having already lifted the weight, she relaxes her leg while it is extended, rather than keeping her knee bent to support the weight.

But the weight is too heavy and bears down on her leg, forcing it to bend the wrong way.

The force snaps the leg bone. While the woman writhes in agony, a man standing nearby in a suit watching her workout rushes to help.

Experts today warned of the dangers of carrying out exercises such as a leg press without the proper training or supervision.

Some said that resistance machines such as the leg press are dangerous because they isolate muscles in a way that does not mimic 'real life' movement, while others warned a person should always concentrate when carrying out such exercise.
