the magnetically controlled resistance mechanism is driven by the second bevel gear and provides a resistance to the second bevel gear;
the magnetically controlled resistance mechanism at least includes a belt wheel, a rotation wheel, a magnetically controlled wheel, a magnetic bracket, and a transmission belt;
the magnetically controlled wheel is pivotally mounted on the third front support;
the magnetic bracket is securely connected with the second front support and surrounds a periphery of the magnetically controlled wheel;
the belt wheel is pivotally mounted on the second front support and is rotated in concert with the second bevel gear synchronously;
the belt wheel is coaxial with the second bevel gear;
the rotation wheel is pivotally mounted on the third front support and is rotated in concert with the magnetically controlled wheel synchronously:
the rotation wheel is coaxial with the magnetically controlled wheel; and
the transmission belt is mounted around the belt wheel and the rotation wheel.
2 . The leg lift machine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main frame unit has a cuboid shape.
3 . The leg lift machine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
a first front support is securely connected with the front side of the main frame unit;
the first front support is arranged transversely;
