Ten out of 10 women are unhappy with their physiques.
In my experience, the subject of leg training has to become an inquisition that is cross examined, researched, studied and debated more regularly than any other training and exercise related topic. So let me take this opportunity to share my experience and offer a qualified opinion to help separate fact from fiction...
Ten out of 10 women are unhappy with their physiques. More importantly, most, if not all, are morose about the current state of their legs. As a coach, day in and day out, I’m confronted with the challenge of ‘shape shifting the shanks’, because our limbs are either too big, too shapeless or too skinny.
Men will agree with me here – women are hard to please. Try telling a woman that in order to make a positive physical change, we need to at least fondle with the idea of lifting weights. The majority of women will admit that shapely, strong legs are the way forward, especially in our quest for that enticing ITC (inner thigh clearance), which seems so engrossing to the Instagram-crazed cohort of the female population at present.
