Daily Youth Seated Leg Press Machine (GS314)

The seated leg press machine works many of the same muscles as the squat, without putting as much load on the spine and knees. You might include the leg press to isolate the quadriceps muscle group or to help ensure your body moves through a fluid and proper range of motion with load on the knee and hip joints.

The primary muscle group targeted by the seated leg press is the quadriceps at the front of the thighs. This four-headed muscle is responsible for the extension of the knee, which is what happens as you press the platform of the leg press machine with your legs.
