Leg workouts

Now, there are 3 main muscles in the legs. Those muscles are the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. And there are different exercises for each. However, I am going to just cover whole legs at once. So, the following video will show you the main exercises done to gain muscle in the legs.



While this video does not show the squat, I am going to assume that you already know what that is. The squat is really the best exercise for the lower body, but if you want to target specific muscles, then I recommend these workouts. The leg press is really good at targeting the glutes (butt), hamstrings and quadriceps. This also doesn't show how to work the calves. I will tell you that working the calves is very easy. If your gym doesn't have a machine, simply go to the leg press machine. When you are leaned back, push up the weight with the balls of your feet. You should feel your calves working.
