If you don't like to do squats because they tend to hurt your knees, why not get a vertical leg press machine which you can lay comfortably on the pads while working out your leg muscles?

A vertical leg press machine is designed to be compact and it is perfect for space-challenged environments such as your home gym or room. When it comes to building up the strength of your the quads, hamstrings and glutes, the squat is the only exercises that can effectively bring massive muscle onto your thighs.

In fact, squatting should be a staple leg exercise in your workout program if you’re interested in strength training. With a vertical leg press machine, you can easily do the exercises and if you want to emphasize the quadriceps, push the weight more with the balls of your feet.

Also make sure that you do not overstrain yourself and you should only increase the weight gradually if you’re not used to leg press exercises.
