In previous articles we talked about the practice of fitness enthusiasts make the upper body exercises and forget about leg exercises , getting some an effect of “Chicken Man” (Very muscular chest but little or no muscular legs) is aesthetically unsightly. In this article, I will tell you why it is so important to exercise for the legs and how you will benefit for the rest of the body’s muscles gain more mass and volume. The question is … But why is it so important to give priority to the muscles of the legs? Is very simple.

In our legs have almost 50% of the muscles of the body. This means that every time you train your quads , hamstrings , glutes and twins , are demanding a very significant amount of calories to function perfectly, and you forcing your body to work very hard to recover these muscles after exercise.

Your body is working to restore inner balance and anabolic hormones that are generating will help improve strength and endurance of your muscles, increasing the growth of these naturally but efficient, and also consume a significant number of calories to make recovery effective.

Usually we focus on training the more you see, arms , chest and abdomen , but training is not what, which are the legs, will bring us more profit and better results in the medium and long term. I’ll give you an example.

The biceps are 5% of all the muscles in our body. If we focus on them and work to have some nice arms, the only thing that’s going to get, some nice arms.

The lower body where they are almost 50% of our muscles to work it and focus on not only going to get increased muscle mass for them, but we’re making the rest of the body’s muscles to benefit. The reason for this benefit is the amount of growth hormones that can generate large muscle training (leg exercises) against the small amount of the same hormone that generate small muscles.

In conclusion. The large muscle training will benefit all the muscles in your body and create a significant demand for energy during training and post-workout, helping you to burn more calories at rest, whereas if you focus on training small muscle, only bring benefit to those muscles.

Strong legs will help you burn more calories while you sleep and rest.

Remember, strong legs are anabolic, ie, it helps to have more muscle mass in the body. It will be much easier to gain muscle mass with strong legs .

As a tip, when you go to the gym, spend at least a day and a half legs. The rest of the muscles of your body will thank you.

While many people have no trouble sticking to a diet and fitness routine throughout the week, a different schedule, downtime and social events often lead to weekend cheating. When you’re trying to lose weight or get into better shape, taking advantage of time on the weekends for extra workouts is a great idea.

It’s also smart to plan ahead for your week so you feel relaxed in your daily approach to diet and fitness even if your regular schedule is hectic. There are many diet and exercise tips specifically designed for weekends that can help you reach your health goals.

Try Variety
If you have a normal fitness routine during the week, such as running or taking a spinning class, use the weekend to try something different. Elizabeth M. Ward, M.S., R.D writes for Men’s Fitness that trying a different exercise may help you burn more fat, because you’re challenging different muscle groups. She suggests trying a boxing class or swimming, or playing a team sport instead of your usual solitary workout.

While she encourages variety in your workouts, when it comes to snacking, Ward cautions against giving yourself too many choices. She recommends picking one healthful item for your afternoon treat and lists popcorn, pretzels and almonds as good options.

Reward Yourself

Look for spa trips, nature retreats or other adventures that can help you incorporate fitness and won’t tempt you to break your diet. If money is tight, try other rewards that don’t cost anything, such as a walk with a friend, time with a favorite book or movie, or even a well-deserved nap.
