We always see many trainees a lack of interest in leg exercises, despite its great importance !!

 

Strong legs mean better performance:

Many leg exercises are compound movements which means engaging many muscle groups such as the hamstrings, glutes, inner and outer thighs, so in general, leg exercises work to energize the entire body and thus provide you with the stability you need to get good performance and increase back strength, which helps reduce Possibility of risk of injury during other exercises, in addition to an increase in the heart rate for some time while performing strength exercises, which means an increase in the strength and health of the heart.

Leg exercises help you lose weight:

Leg muscles are the largest muscle group in your body in other words, the more you train them, the more energy needed to move this muscle group, this simply means that regardless of the activity you do, you will automatically burn calories, not only strong leg muscles will help you lose Weight, but training on the leg itself, like most strength training, also has a significant impact on burning calories in the body.

Leg exercises prevent lower back pain:

Low back pain often comes due to weak stable muscles, meaning that you need strong back muscles to prevent back pain, and although leg exercises support back strength, as mentioned previously, there is more than that through targeted exercises such as training the quadriceps and hamstrings. It reduces the risk of lower back injuries, but you must pay attention to performing the exercises correctly, meaning that if you do exercises in the lower body incorrectly, this definitely means an increased risk of back pain and injury.

Leg exercises and brain health:

Using legs in regular weight training exercises can send signals to the brain and help produce new nerve cells, which positively affects the health of the brain and the nervous system. Neglecting leg exercises can make it difficult for the body to produce these new nerve cells and form the building blocks. To address effort and adapt to challenges in life, in addition, studies have found that reducing leg exercises and neglecting them in front of the rest of the muscles of the body can reduce the amount of oxygen in the body, which leads to the creation of room for the anaerobic environment in the body and metabolism imbalances, and this is according to the opinion of health experts from It can affect important health aspects such as cardiovascular problems, motor neuron diseases, multiple sclerosis, and muscle atrophy, and at the same time research has found that leg exercises have many other health benefits such as boosting metabolism, building strength and gaining muscle.

Leg exercise and testosterone (the male hormone):

The secretion of testosterone generally increases if you exert a lot of effort, so squats and deadlifts are considered exercises that raise testosterone levels significantly because the body needs more amounts of it, which helps increase the body's energy to lift weight during vigorous exercise.

- Get the attractive appearance:

Many people focus only on the upper body and forget their legs, which makes them look like a chicken (huge and large on the top, slender and weak on the bottom), which makes the iron player the object of mockery and mockery of others. So practicing leg exercises and including them periodically and regularly will give you a consistent and attractive body.
As Sergio Oliva said: "The bodybuilder who does not train leg muscles is a quarter of a player."
