Train your legs period.
As we know your body produces a growth hormone. These hormones are very important when your goal is to increase muscle mass. These are produced faster in the large muscle groups such as your legs. This means that when you train your leg muscles, the hormones that are produced will also affect the growth of the other smaller muscle groups. However, this is only relevant to the men among us.
In addition, training your leg muscles comes with a number of benefits that will have a direct impact on the following:
REASONS TO TRAIN YOUR LEGS
- If you only train your upper body for a toned six-pack, broad shoulders and big biceps, your body will fall out of proportion sooner or later. No one likes a narrow looking lower body. If you give your leg muscles enough attention in the gym, your body will remain in balance. No natural ratio means a greater chance of injuries in the muscle groups that are less well developed.
- As a connection to the previous point: if you put your lower body to work, this will affect all muscle groups in your body. Leg muscle exercises such as sets of squats, leg presses and wall-sits produce a lot of growth hormones and testosterone. Several studies have shown that squats and deadlifts release most growth hormones and testosterone. These hormones stimulate muscle building in your entire body, including the smaller muscle groups.
- Strength exercises in the leg muscles are not only important for people who want to gain muscle mass, but also for people who want to lose weight. Because your leg muscles are the largest muscle group, you burn the most calories with leg exercises. This applies even after training; your leg muscles still use a lot of energy to recover from that intensive training. Whatever your goal in the gym is, training your leg muscles is therefore very important! Let’s face it, people walk, run, jump, keep going.Stronger leg muscles and a core provide more stability.
TAKE AWAY WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SKIP LEG DAY
You don’t want to end up as a meme, gif, or be the inspiration behind a quote for someone who skips leg day. Instead of running for the hills next time leg day pops up in your schedule, think about how much easier reaching your fitness goals can be if you never skip leg day.
Not only can it help you create a well-proportioned and symmetrical physique, but it can also help you build more muscle (even in your upper body), burn more fat, and reduce your risk of injury.
