Leg Exercises

Our quads ( main leg muscles) are a powerhouse of strength. Women tend to be stronger in their legs than their upper body. Men are typically reverse. The exercises below are extremely effective. Almost everyone has heard of squats and lunges, and once you have tried them you will see just how effective they can be.

Exercise 1 - Squats

Start - Begin with your feet directly under your hips and hands by your sides.

The Movement - Keeping the majority of your body weight on the heels, begin to sit down as though sitting on a chair. Keep your back as upright as possible. Go as low as you feel comfortable, pause, and return to start.

Exercise 2 - Lunges

Start - Begin with your feet directly under your hips and hands by your sides. Take one step forward with your left leg.

The Movement - Take your back knee down so it almost touches the floor. Pause for a second and lift back to start.
