How to exercise leg muscles

Friends who often go to the gym to exercise will definitely not neglect the training of their leg muscles! Strong and powerful legs will make the entire body lines look more vigorous. If you only train your chest and abdominal muscles, but the flesh on your legs is loose, then the whole person will inevitably look uncoordinated. How can I exercise my leg muscles? Don’t worry, let’s take a look at the introduction below!

(1) Seated horizontal leg press: a warm-up exercise before high-intensity squats, safe and reliable.

(2) Recumbent Weighted Leg Raise: This is a classic exercise for concentrated quadriceps training. Deep squats put a lot of pressure on the waist when squatting, while recumbent weighted leg raises can avoid this shortcoming, so it can be used to lift heavy weights.

(3) Barbell squat: This is the traditional squat movement. Compared with the front barbell squat, the back barbell squat can bear more weight and is safer. It can develop both the quadriceps and the gluteal muscles, so it is the first choice for most people.

(4) Smith squat: During the Smith machine squat, the vertical trajectory of the body is fixed by the Smith machine, which is relatively safe.

(5) Hack squat: It is one of the best exercises for leg strength training. Like the Smith machine squat, it is a squat that uses fixed equipment.

(6) Seated leg extension: This is an ideal exercise for sculpting the shape and lines of the quadriceps. This exercise will make the muscle lines on the front of the thigh clearer.

(7) Lunges: Lunges can be done with a barbell or dumbbells and are a comprehensive exercise.

The above content introduces in detail the methods and steps for exercising leg muscles. I hope it can serve as a good reference for friends who like fitness. Leg strength is an important prerequisite that cannot be ignored in sports. People who study Kung Fu must first train the stability of the lower body, and the lower body refers to the legs. It can be seen that leg training is very important.
