Seated leg presses are done using a leg press machine which targets the lower body muscles. Start by sitting on the machine with your back and tailbone against the backrest. Place your feet on the resistance plate, keeping your toes pointing forward and knees bent at about 90 degrees. Hold the handles to stabilize your upper body, and keep your abdominal muscles tight. Push the resistance plate away from your body by extending your hips and knees until they are almost fully extended, but do not lock your knees. Slowly return to the starting position by bending your hips and knees. This exercise mainly works the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, and helps in strengthening the lower body. It is especially beneficial for beginners and those undergoing physical rehabilitation as it provides controlled movement and reduces the risk of injury. Additionally, leg presses promote bone density, which is crucial for preventing conditions like osteoporosis.
