How to train leg strength

I believe that everyone can understand the importance of limbs without much explanation. A pair of good legs can take us through thousands of rivers and lakes. We must not neglect any part of our body. Problems in any part can affect our quality of life. Leg exercises can make our legs stronger. So we can't ignore that we should exercise our limbs in our free time every day. Flexible limbs will make our movements more agile.

1. Running method

Running is one of the most basic sports for humans and the most basic way to practice leg strength.

The running method is a variety of methods that use running as the basic exercise method to improve leg strength.

Running can be divided into short-distance running, middle-distance running, and long-distance running according to the length of distance; it can be divided into flat ground running, mountain running, plain running, plateau running, road running, and playground running according to different terrain; it can be divided into bare-handed running and weighted running according to different equipment; it can be divided into anaerobic running and aerobic running according to different breathing.

The main methods are as follows:

1.30-60 meters acceleration running and variable speed running: mainly to exercise the instantaneous explosive power of the legs, improve the flexibility of the steps, and enhance the starting speed of the legs. When accelerating, you are required to use all your strength, increase your arm swing, and run as fast as possible. When changing speed during running, start suddenly and forcefully.

2. Hill running: Running uphill is mainly to practice the frequency of leg swinging, while running downhill is mainly to practice the amplitude of leg swinging. The slope length is generally selected between 30 and 60 meters. Hill running is mainly to increase the explosive power of the legs.

3. Stair running: According to the height of the stairs, choose how many steps to run in one step. If the steps are high, choose to run one by one, which can improve the flexibility of your steps and the frequency of step changes; if the steps are low, choose to run by taking several steps at a time, which can better enhance the explosive power of your legs.

4. Running with sandbags: According to your actual situation, choose suitable sand leggings to exercise your leg strength. Long-term persistence can improve leg endurance and strength.

5. Run wearing a sand vest, the method and effect are the same as above.

6.15-meter shuttle run: Run back and forth over a distance of 15 meters to increase the explosive power of the legs and the instantaneous starting speed.

I have talked to you in detail about leg exercises. I hope it can be of some help to you. It can help you exercise your leg strength and make you walk faster and more flexibly. As we age, our limbs become less flexible, and only constant stretching exercises can make them better. Get moving! Simple movements in just a few minutes a day can strengthen your legs.
