? re: leg presses

[gateacher72]

Can anyone help me find any free weight or other exercises that would be good substitute(s) for leg presses? I don't have access to a leg press machine.

Thanks!

One of the best overall exercises for the legs is the basic squat which you can review here:

Another great exercise is the hack squat which can be reviewed here:

If you don't have access to any machines, then try walking lunges and grab a couple gallons of milk or other weighted objects which you can hold tightly in your hands which will provide some resistance. Here is an example of walking lunges:

Best of luck to you!

Without an access to machines, I would suggest the single leg squat. Tops all!
