The Leg Press Machine is a piece of gym equipment designed to strengthen the lower body, particularly the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Users sit in a reclined position and push a weighted platform away using their feet. This exercise mimics the motion of squatting but provides more back support, making it suitable for various fitness levels. Most leg press machines come in two main types: horizontal and angled. The horizontal version has a flat platform, while the angled version allows for a more natural movement. Both types can be adjusted for weight, enabling users to gradually increase resistance as they build strength.
