Tuning your legs on the treadmills is not only for making the jeans fit perfectly. Our legs are the core of stability and existence, and leg workouts help us gain strength with much-desired looks. Here, we list out some of the most impactful workouts for legs.
1 - Squatting: If you want to shape your squatting leg workouts are intended to shape and align your anterior quadriceps femoris, and posterior hamstrings. To give you a good start at the leg workout, seamless workout shorts work wonders. They are durable enough to support leg stretching and provide breathability at the same time.
- Front Squat: Load a barbell on the shoulder and push elbows up with an underhand grip. Sit back on your hips, and lower the body by bending from the knees. Keep your chest straight without falling forward. This leg workout is intended to shape your quad muscles in the thighs. A good pair of short or cropped leggings make this squatting for legs much more convenient.
-
Back Squat: Load the barbell on the traps, and sit back on your hips by bending the knees. Lower the knees until the thighs are parallel to the floor, and push back on the starting position. Keep repeating it while resisting collapse. Wearing comfortable high-quality activewear is essential for performing this exercise.
-
Wall Squat: Start by pressing your head and back against a wall. Position your feet and shoulder to balance so that you can comfortably slide your feet in front of the body. Stick your back to the wall and hold the position for 20-60 seconds. Slide slowly into a standing position, and repeat the steps. To build your lower body strength, this leg workout works wonders. It also stimulates your abdominal muscles to build a stronger core.
-
Sissy Squats: This is the most phenomenal yet most challenging leg workout to build your quads. So, pick up a good collection of shorts and 7/8 leggings to get your wardrobe ready for this leg exercise. Find a strong fixture like a squat rack to hold onto. Bend your knees and lean backward while releasing your heels and raising your arms. Descent slowly while holding on to a support structure to your maximum tolerance. Contract your quads to stand up. Repeat the process.
2 - Lunges:
-
Walking Lunges: To step up your workout, you can try walking lunges. Stand up straight, step forward with your weight on the heels. Bend the right knee in a split stance where the right foot is 2-3 feet ahead of the left foot, and parallel to the floor. Now, move your left foot forward without moving the right leg. Repeat the steps.
-
Lateral Lunge: Stand up feet and hip-width apart. Bend your left knee to 90 degrees with a big forward step. Then, push your hips back lower. Initially, your torso will lean forward. With regular exercising, you can gradually feel more balanced movement and changes in your inner and outer thigh with promising mobility.
