How to Obtain Strong and Toned Legs
Posted by Claudz on 9th Mar 2020
Having strong and toned legs is a fitness goal for many. Besides, who wouldn't want strong and toned legs, right? Pretty much everyone wants to have a well-built physique, and having strong legs is one of the basic foundations to that goal.
Our legs are the pillar of our every moment. They basically act as a balancing force in our everyday activities. Having weak legs won't get us anywhere. We'll just end up dragging ourselves into performing our daily tasks with added stress.
In our quest for strengthening and toning our legs, we discovered a lot of exercises and workouts and we tried almost all of them. But let's just narrow it down to some exercises that are easy to do and require just your body weight or easy-to-use and reliable training equipment which you can combine with these exercises at the gym or at home.
Let's workout those calves, glutes, quads, and hamstrings with these easy-to-do exercises!
Exercises to Strengthen and Tone Your Legs
1. Squats
This is probably the best leg and butt strengthening exercise because it really targets your hamstrings, quads, and glutes. This is also the most popular leg exercise that most fitness buffs add to their routine. There are different squat variations that you can do. Try pairing it with leg resistance bands or booty bands for added resistance!
2. Deadlifts
Deadlifts target the glutes, quads, and hamstrings, aside from targeting the lower back. This exercise can be done using dumbbells, kettlebells, or barbells, then pair it with Kinetic Bands to increase strength and resistance.
3. Lunges
Target the glutes, quads, hips, core, hamstrings, and calves with this beginner exercise. Lunges strengthen the legs and help improve stability. If you're just starting to do lunge exercises and having problems with balance, you can start by holding on to a sturdy pole or wall.
4. Running
This is still one of the most practiced leg workouts. It can be a bit challenging for some but a very enjoyable leg strengthening routine to most. Not only does it strengthen your legs, but also makes your knees stronger. One positive factor is that it can improve your mental health. They say that people who run daily are happier and stronger. If you are unable to run outdoors, you can still run using a treadmill and try adding resistance to your routine.
5. Biking
Biking stimulates the leg muscles and strengthens cardiovascular muscles as well. If you can't bike outside, use a stationary bike at the gym or at home and try adding resistance bands to intensify your leg workout.
Toned and Stronger Legs
The secret to stronger and toned legs doesn't just lie in fancy equipment and gyms. You can even do this in the comfort of your home or anywhere you feel comfortable. You don't have to invest in expensive equipment to achieve stronger and toned legs. Just a set of leg bands will definitely yield amazing results.
