With the horizontal cable leg press, you sit with your feet pressed against a platform at the same height as your torso. This type of leg press typically features a cable-rigged weight stack that you can use to easily select your desired weight without getting up out of your seat.

The horizontal leg press is a highly effective exercise to target your leg muscles. It is a great isolation exercise to build the muscles in your lower body. This exercise requires a leg machine. It puts you in a seated position with your back against a backrest and you use your feet to push against a sledge.

The horizontal leg press differs from the seated leg press, although you are also seated when using this machine. The difference is that with this one, the footplate moves, but the weight is pushed horizontally. The seated leg press is also considered a type of horizontal leg press.
