Did you know that your leg muscles are the largest muscle group in your body? That’s why a strong lower body foundation is key for strength and overall health. Training your legs can provide many benefits, such as increasing overall muscle mass and endurance for daily activities. In this article, I’ll explain how these four exercises—squats, sumo deadlifts, reverse lunges, and walking lunges—can have a massive impact.
Squats
Squats: Squats are one of my favorite exercises for the legs, as they have the most impact on lean muscle growth and can also provide hormonal benefits by helping your body produce more testosterone since they work your entire body (Bell, Gordon; Syrotu, February 1997).
How to Perform Squats:
Position the barbell across your upper back, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, lower your hips until your thighs are parallel to the ground, keep your chest up, and then drive through your heels to return to standing.
