Leg Press Machine

What exercise is the equivalent of the leg press machine? (perhaps lunge, squat, etc). I LOVE that piece of equipment.

I think squats are the closest thing to a leg press. I do both for my leg workout b/c I used different positioning w/my feet to target different parts of my rear end & legs.

I also love that machine along with all the machines for the lower body. (seated calf raise, adductor and abductor machine, hamstring curl, hack squat, etc.) in terms of a substitute exercise for the leg press machine I have read many many times it is the step ups on a tall step (12, 14 or 16 inches depending on how tall you are). With the exception of S&H: Legs and Shoulders, Cathe does that exercise in the remaining lower body workouts she has released. This is also the core exercise of the workouts by The Firm.

Thanks ladies. I was secretly hoping it was the same as lunges. I HATE lunges with a passion and if it was the same I'd be jumping for joy b/c I would skip doing lunges. But since no such luck, I'll keep on lunging. ;(
