How to exercise your legs

Leg exercise is relatively difficult, mainly because it is not easy to fully mobilize the leg muscles, and the method and technique are more particular when exercising. Even so, some special exercises can greatly improve the leg muscles. For example, exercises such as lying weighted leg press, Smith squats, lunges, etc. can effectively improve the strength of leg muscles. Don’t the names of these exercises sound very professional! Let me introduce it in detail below.

Recumbent weighted leg press: 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 press can avoid this shortcoming, so it can be used to lift heavy weights. Barbell squat: This is the traditional squat movement. Compared with the front-of-neck barbell squat, the back-of-neck 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.

Smith squat: During the Smith machine squat, the vertical movement trajectory of the body is fixed by the Smith machine, which is relatively safe. Hack squat: It is one of the best exercises for leg strength training. Like the Smith machine squat, it is a squat that is done with fixed equipment. 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.

Lunge: Lunge can be done with a barbell or dumbbell, and is a comprehensive exercise. Prone Leg Curl: This is the best isolation exercise for the biceps femoris. Seated leg curl: This is an isolated exercise for training the biceps femoris. Professional athletes use this exercise before competition to pull out their biceps femoris like a "wire rope".

Well, we have introduced some common methods of leg training. The above training methods are quite professional and it may be difficult for ordinary people to master them after reading them once.
