The Leg Press is a popular strength training exercise that targets the muscles in your legs, particularly the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. It is performed using a specialized machine where you push a weighted platform away from your body using your feet. This exercise helps build lower body strength and can be adjusted for different fitness levels by changing the weight.
To perform the Leg Press correctly, sit on the machine with your back against the padded support and place your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform. Lower the platform by bending your knees, then push it back to the starting position. Always ensure proper form to avoid injury and maximize effectiveness.
