Our leg muscles are used all day every day. To ensure they are functioning well we must ignite all the muscles surrounding each large leg muscle group. Using the leg muscles in a purposeful way every day will improve our overall biological body. It will ensure all muscles are awakened and will maintain mobility into the ages.
Lean elongated legs are created by keeping the muscles in good function and form. Our legs and lower body are the easiest and quickest places to build lean muscle. We have over 200 muscles below the waistline, including the largest muscle in the body our gluteus maximus. Getting off our glutes and getting that ower body moving will allow us to feel confident in our skin. Having the feeling of toned legs is so much simpler than we think, and it starts by asking more of our lower body during every movement.
Learning how to reignite the inner highs is a question many people ask. This dormant muscle is a problem area or many alignment reasons. The often forgotten muscle can cause knee tracking injuries which may reduce activity. The blame can not only be on this one muscle as our body fuel and genetics also regulate the types of muscle fibres we maintain, which determines our rate of injury.
Cardio alone will also not improve our leg muscles, but cardio with these exercises will ignite the dormant muscles to spark again. Walking cardio is a key component of these leg workouts and adding this daily will ensure toned legs can be attained. The key is to mix up the intensity and speed of your morning walk by adding a slight Jog or run. Keep the body guessing with a trail and/or hills and add a set of stairs and steps at least once a week.
