Legsbeginner

Leg Press

Muscles Worked

Front
Back
Primary: quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings

How to do it

Sit in the leg press machine with feet placed mid-platform, hip-width apart. Lower the platform toward your chest until thighs are at or past 90°, then press back to the start. Don't lock out your knees at the top.

Form Tips

Foot position changes the emphasis: high = more glutes/hamstrings, low = more quads. Never lock your knees — it removes tension and risks injury.
