Why concentrate only on the upper body when your lower body also needs equal attention? 

Notwithstanding what the vast majority think, hitting the squat rack or the leg machines at the rec center isn’t the only way to get solid, intense legs. In fact, one of the best ways to build muscle and get the strong, sculpted legs you’ve always wanted is to use your own body-weight.

Here are the 6 best workout exercises for your legs:

1. Leg Extensions:

This is a machine-based exercise. You have to pick your weight and sit on the machine with your legs under the cushion and the hands holding the sidebars. Presently utilizing your quadriceps, stretch out your legs to the most extreme as you breathe out. Make sure that whatever is left of the body stays stationary on the seat. Pause a second on the contracted position. Slowly lower the weight back to the original position as you inhale. Repeat for the suggested number of times.

2. Leg lift:

Lie faceup on the floor and raise your upper legs until they’re opposed to the floor.  Bend your knees slightly. Without changing the curve in your lower back or the edge of your knees, support your core and attempt to take 3 to 5 seconds to bring down your feet as near to the floor as you can. One trick: Press your lower back toward the floor as you play out the development. Once your feet contact the floor, raise them back to the start position and repeat.

3. Squats

The form starts from a standing position. Weights are frequently utilized, either in the hand (dumbbells or iron weights) or as a bar propped over the trapezius muscle or back deltoid muscle in the upper back. The form is started by moving the hips back and bending the knees and hips to bring down to the middle with weight, at that very point coming back up to the upright position and repeat.

4. Walking lunges

To do them, start in a lunge position with your knees almost touching the floor (if you’re doing these on a hard surface like concrete, please don’t tinkle your knees into the ground!).

Without waiting, switch legs, bringing your other leg forward into a lunge position. Think about keeping your chest up and shoulders pulled backwards while you continue switch legs and moving forward.

5. Pistols (one-legged squats)

When you’re beginning doing pistols, try holding on to a sturdy surface then stand on one leg with your free leg held straight out in front. Drive your hips back and take a seat to the extent that you would so be able to so that your butt is relatively contacting the ground. When you hit the base position, raise yourself move down to standing.

In case you’re having trouble holding your free leg sufficiently high with the goal that it doesn’t hit the floor, you can begin by doing these while remaining on a seat or other strong high surface to make them somewhat simpler. In the end, you’ll need to work up for doing pistols without holding on to anything by any means!
