Best Leg Exercises: do NOT neglect leg day, use this leg workout for bigger or more toned legs!
Don’t go steaming into a new leg routine (or any new routine, for that matter) like a ‘roid-raging bull in a protein shop, because you’ll only hate the workout, or sustain an injury and put the programme off track.
Introduce yourself to this workout gently and begin with very light weights until you’ve mastered the exercise in question and can confidently perform 8-10 reps without breaking a sweat.
Also, legs are complicated beasts and are essentially made up of lots of large and small muscle groups. For this reason, they tend to ache after exercise far more than any other body part.
For optimal results, you will need to gradually crank up the intensity using resistance training, and for that reason, I suggest you get yourself a membership to a gym with a good spread of free weights.
Before we get going on the workout, there are three things you should never forget when aiming to build muscle:
Intensity: you need to be working hard.
Volume: you need to be performing adequate sets and reps per session.
Frequency: you need to be training that muscle group at least twice a week.
Ease yourself into legs training gently, but when you are familiar with the manoeuvres, aim to start adding more weight each week.
This workout features few reps, so make sure the weight is enough make you work hard.
