Question Strength Training machines and side weakness

Built or Thunder -
Is there a way to use the strength machine (for your legs) to work out one leg individually? I have a much weaker left leg ( I walk for it doesn't let my left leg get helped by my right), and when I use the machines I feel my right leg doing more of the "work". What do you suggest?

Yep, sure can. Just have to lower the weight and lift what is comfortable for you. I do on leg at a time on the leg extension and leg curl. Might take a little adjusting, but very feasible. You can also do the leg press & calf raises.

Thank so much! I want to keep my right leg as a low weight and work my leg then use a lower weight for my left leg till it matches my right leg. I have to admit with all the walking I've been doing, I'm not "stumbling" as I walk anymore Never did I think I would enjoy walking so much. Never!
