If you have an attractive body but you have chicken legs you don’t need to be embarrassed. Follow these 5 tips on Legs Workout and leg training principles and the workout plan to build strong and muscular legs so great that you would not have to hide those legs with long pants in summer.





1: Focus on Functional Exercises for Your Heavy Sets

Our creator didn’t design our bodies to flex and extend our knees while in hip flex-ion (seated position), so skip the heavy leg extensions and leg curls. Lifting heavy weight on machine-based exercises can cause both structural issues such as patellar tendinitis as well as muscular imbalances. If you got either of these it will set you back weeks from your goal.  Instead of doing that you can have your heavy work done with functional movements like the squat and dead-lift.  These two exercises should be the cornerstone of any legs routine. Use this technique and you will feel your legs changing before your eyes within weeks, and by change I mean in a better way guys.


2: Work Unilaterally to Ensure Balance

One side of our body is always doing a bit more work than the other because almost everyone is either left or right dominant. To ensure that both legs develop evenly add unilaterally exercises like lunges, single leg squat, or single leg dead-lifts and minimize any muscular imbalances.


3: Don’t Forget Stabilizers

Most guys at the gym neglect the smaller stabilizing muscles in the hips that prevent injury and ensure correct movement and stability of the hips and pelvis. All of your movement will become less effective and potentially more dangerous without these muscles working correctly, so your focus should be on these muscles as well. Work the abductors (outer thigh) and abductors (inner thigh) as part of your warm-up prior to squatting and dead-lifting.


4: Warm Up Properly

No, 10-20 minutes on the treadmill/elliptical/bike do not constitute a proper warm up. Merely doing the cardiovascular warm up has done a little thing to prepare your body for what is about to ensure. Always begin you session with a good 5-10 minutes of active stretching (movement work) then your stabilization work.


5: Use Isolation Movements Purely for Toning Purposes

Those leg extension and curl machines?  This is where they can be properly enlisted. Use light moderate resistance and work high repetitions on these isolation machines in order to perfect definition on the quads and hamstrings. Be sure to set your machines correctly in order to avoid any kind of injuries on your knees.
Start working on these exercises and you will get an attractive legs, which you would like to show to everybody.
