Never Ever Skip Leg Days

Want to look good in mirror and in other people's eyes? its simple, do a full body workout. Still, there are some people who just concentrate on upper body, not giving much importance to legs, which results in CHICKEN legs.. When we are talking about body building, then it includes legs too, why some people don't get this? Each and every body parts should be trained, especially legs from every angle.
 

Personally, I have seen many people constantly working out in gym solely for chest, bigger arms, broad shoulders, but legs. Many youngsters, who have just started training in gym, want those six pack abs and v-shape body within months. They just don't care that how weird they would look in those chicken legs. My advice: Don't make your everyday, upper body day.

In my opinion, whether you want to train yourself for any sports or just for the sole purpose of making yourself happy, a pair of good legs would be great. There are many myths about training legs and the one heard most of the time is that it won't help upper half in building muscles. Please, just don't listen to those who think training legs is waste of time. Legs can make or break your appearance.

Training legs muscles on regular basis, works out for the whole body. To look just great, you need to maintain the proper size of each part of your body. Apart from that, training legs have many health benefits such as fat loss, improves your blood circulation, builds muscles, improves heart rate and helps in fighting many health diseases.

Killer Workouts for Legs and its Benefits:

1. Hamstrings Exercises: When Working out for legs to get a perfect tone and tighten them, you can't neglect hamstrings. From all, training hamstrings muscles are very important and is my favorite too. Hamstrings are the one that controls your legs activities like bending them and flexing. To tone your back thighs in great shape, hamstrings exercises are the best. There are many great exercises that are specifically targeting hamstrings such as: Dumbbell Stiff-legged Deadlift, Floor Glute-Ham Raise, Barbell Deadlift, Lying Leg Curls, Romanian Barbell Deadlift.

2. Quads workouts: Simply, we call them as the thighs, a large group of muscles at the top and front of your legs. This is what we call quadriceps in technical terms. If you are seeing yourself participating in body building competitions, then you should think of developing larger thighs, with quadriceps training or I should say its a must. Some of the best ones for quadriceps training are: Box Squat with Bands, Jumping Lunge, Barbell Lunge , Squat with Stability Ball, Front Squats With Two Kettle bells.

3. Leg Presses: There is always debate going on between leg press and squats for toning legs in perfect shape and size. I would rank both of them very high as each of them has it own sets of benefits when training leg muscles.  Leg presses are great for burning down huge amount of calories from quads and helps strengthening lower body. Leg press works for hamstrings, quadriceps and glutes too, building both strength and size in the quads. This legs exercise are very simple with many variations for great results.
 

4. Squats: The most popular exercise among women's to tone down their butt and thighs. Nothing works like squats when you want to create symmetry and to tone down your legs. Many people consider squats solely for leg exercise, but in reality its an exercise for full body movement including hamstrings and glutes. This exercise works every muscle, a great workout for whole body, mainly targeting your butt and thighs. For bigger thighs, quadriceps and heavy weight squats are unbeatable. Some of the most popular variations of squats are: Barbell squat, Box Squat, Wide Stance Squat, Barbell Front Squat, Assisted Squat, Goblet Bulgarian Split Squat, Barbell Side Split Squat
