The Importance and Benefits of Leg Day workouts

--:--
SIFISO MSANE

Lower-body strengthening is important when you want to form a stronger upper body. Your leg muscles are among the largest in your body and working out on them can provide a symbolic metabolic effect to your body. Exercises that impact the leg muscles, can stimulate the release of growth hormones and increase mass and size. Leg workouts can help you increase your ability to engage in cardiovascular activities and lifting because stronger legs translate into better endurance and core strength. Your leg muscles are the biggest muscle group in your body. So the more you train them the more energy is needed to move them. This means no matter what workout you do whether it be a leisure walk or an intense training workout, you will automatically burn more body-weight. Many leg workouts are compound movements, which means they engage many muscle groups. Squats, for example, engage your quads, hamstrings, glutes, inner and outer thighs
