How to do it
The leg press targets the thighs and glutes with your back supported.
Seated on the machine, back and glutes against the backrest, place your feet shoulder-width apart in the middle of the platform and release the safety.
Lower the platform by bending your knees toward your chest, without lifting your lower back, then push until your legs are nearly straight.
Do not lock your knees at the top and re-engage the safety before getting out.
