Leg Press 101
The leg press is a super effective and gentle way to strengthen your legs with limited mobility. As noted in the video above, one of the great things about the leg press is that you can load the machine without any weight at all. This allows you to still work the knee joint through a good range of motion, even if you can’t do a full bodyweight squat!

Feel free to check out the video linked above for a full video commentary of myself working with one of my clients in this machine.
