Can you do a leg press on this?

There's pictures on the box with 12 exercises to get you started, leg press is one of them.

Not really,Well,You can do squats on this pushing your own weight,However you can't add any weight's to it unless you were to hold something like a weight! However it does have resistance cables and that can give you a little more resistance when they are connected!

Sure you can. You just won't be able to really do more than about your own weight. If you incline the machine to the last hole, and you added resistence straps at the bottom of the machine all four of them for added 60 pounds, you'll get pretty close to your own weight. Do 30 of them. I have the machine up at the 4th hole up and do 30 leg presses. At my age, I'm not interested in doing a lot of leg pressing. I'ts all about LOW IMPACT for me, with a bit of toning.

It's more of a squat because you are using your own body weight instead of pushing weights

I've just ordered one but have had similar machines in the past. You can basically do "pistol squats" and get just as good of a workout as you can with a leg press machine (which I use all the time at the gym too).

Yes it can. I just did it in fact. Takes a little muscle but not too bad as you are sliding up on an angle.

You could but you would need a very wide round chair. No where near as responsive as a ball so probably less workout.

Yes you can. I did it a couple days ago. With the legs splayed out and the ballhead attached, it's roughly 5 inches off the ground. It's an estimate because I didn't measure it.

Bottom part rotates on a bolt which acts as an axle. You add weight and do leg lifts. So yes, you can move the bottom part to work your legs.

It could probably be done with time and patience. The only problem I see would be spreading the legs and lifting them. They do have a push lever mechanism for lifting the legs that is MUCH easier than pushing the little ball-bearing into the hole with the end of your finger and pulling the leg extension up. I would say yes it could be done because it doesn't require strength, but much easier with two or more people just for coordination of leg placement. Hope this helps. :)

Not easily. In my opinion, these are only good for arm exercises and sitting set-ups by placing the cord hanger over a door, facing backwards and doing cruches by leaning forward. I don't think you would get much out of trying leg presses.

There are holes in the legs so I guess You could. But I dont know for sure if that workes the legs are round.

Yes, but this is much better used as a tricep pressdown machine opposed to a lat pulldown. There is nothing to hold your legs and bodyweight down, so you will be pulled up if you use enough weight when doing lat pulldowns. It's excellent for tricep pressdowns.

yes! it can be. though changing the orientation of the legs regularly would break it for sure i guess. P.S. The joints of the legs are not good, one of them malfunctioned making it useless after a month's use for me

Yes, as long as you change the appropriate legs. One of the best features about it.

Yes. I use it for that all the time. You leave the legs short and spread them out wide and you can get down pretty low.

It depends on the resistance you select. Most importantly, you will tone your leg if you follow the instructions.

Yes it can. You need to buy a belt seperatly. As this does not come with one. However, this lift is not very stable and not too durable. After using several times, the legs become unstable.

Yes.. you will be able to, but not for long as the ankle support is not cushioned enough, so it does start paining in few minutes.

Yes you can. To be able to do this you have to make sure that your height is exact. If you don't you can still do it but it will pull at your ankles

I suppose you could do that but it would defeat the purpose of the product. I wouldn't recommend this product anyway, because you can't change the tension of the pedals. Fork out some dough and get yourself a real stepper.
