MUSCLES WORKED

If the machine allows it, adjust the seat, moving support, and starting range so you can sit securely with your feet firmly supported and the moving support resting comfortably against your upper back. Stop in an upright position or sooner if that feels more comfortable instead of forcing a deep backward lean. The exercise primarily trains the spinal erectors.
