Whip Those Legs Into Shape!

Posted on 29 October 2008 by Ace


Sometimes when we are lifting weights one muscle group that sometimes gets neglected is the legs. It can be easy to get caught up in wanting huge arms or washboard abs, but without properly proportioned legs you won’t look your best. But before you start a legs routine you want to figure out what kind of results you are looking for.
If you are looking to strengthen and bulk you will want to make sure you are using heavier weight, where you can only get 6-10 reps per set.
If you are looking to tone your legs you will want to use weight that enables you to get 10-15 reps per set.
Lastly if you are looking to increase your aerobic workout then use weight that enables you to get 20 reps or more per set.

When working out your legs you want to be sure to hit each muscle group and occasionally change up the specific exercises you are doing.
Some routines you might want to use are:
Squats 3 sets 6-20 reps depending on what you are looking for, calf raises 6-20 reps, leg extensions 6-20 reps, and leg curls 6-20 reps.
Leg press 6-20 reps, calf raises 6-20 reps, lunges 6-20 reps, and dead lifting (trying not to bend the legs) 6-20 reps.
One legged squats 6-20 reps, one legged calf raises 6-20 reps, walking lunges 6-20 reps and jump squats 6-20 reps.

ripped legs

Know matter what routine you do you’ll start to see the results you are looking for in about a 1-2 months. So make sure to stick with it and then you’ll have some nice toned legs, to go with the rest of your fit body.
