There are more than enough people working on their arms that forget their legs.
I admit that I did that before too.
That is ok; it is never too late to train those skinny legs.
Professional boxers might have a skinny leg but they sure are not that weak, they run over 5 miles every day while training.
Do you? Let's go through my few favorites that are undeniably important.
Squat - This is started from standing up with legs spread apart about one or two feet depending on how tall you are and heavy your weight is.
Position the barbell on the back of your shoulders.
Slowly descend until the thighs are parallel to the floor then rise back up until the legs are straight.
Repeat for repetition.
The main target here is to work out the "quadriceps".
Other muscles working out are: gluteus maximus, hips, and hamstrings.
Leg Press - This exercise is done on a machine.
Sit down, hold the handles on the side, and push the weight away from you until your legs are straight.
Almost like the squat, it helps work out your quads mostly.
Dead Lift - While standing, hold barbell at arms length; lower the bar to the floor by using the knees and waist to bend.
Return to the starting position and repeat accordingly.
The target for this exercise is to work out the glutes (gluteus maximus) and your lower back.
Other muscles being worked on but less are: quadriceps, hips, and hamstrings.
Leg Extension - Make sure you sit on a bench for this practice.
The pads will be placed in front of your ankles, then extend your knees or straighten out your leg, thus pushing the pads up.
Lower back down slowly and repeat this process accordingly to your goals.
You should build some serious leg muscles in a considerably good amount of time if done correctly.
Mastering the basics of leg work outs will help tremendously when advancing to different exercise programs or extending workout times.
