The Leg Press Trainer is a smaller, lighter-weight version of our large, origi-nal Leg Press for customers who only need a two-person station.This equip-ment provides two positions, each with self weighted resistance. The exercise places emphasis on the quadriceps, glu-teals, and hips. Since the level of resis-tance is modest, the exercise avoids risks that are are associated with heavy squats in a standing position.
Most individuals will perform a large number of repetitions, perhaps as many as 20 to 30, which introduces greater cardiovascular benefit to compliment the power developed in the legs. For maxi-mum resistance the exercise can be done with one leg at a time.
Also, one may choose to use the piece of equipment to perform calf raises in a seated position, one or two legs at a time. With fully extended legs, press the toes into the platform and push yourself up and away from the supports using the calf muscles.
