5 Intense Exercises For Strong, Shapely Legs And Glutes!
While many people have the top goal of achieving a set of six pack abs, your primary goal might be toning the legs and glutes, giving your lower body a curvier, yet still muscular appearance. When the legs show good tone and definition, it really enhances the overall image of the body, making it well worth your time and effort. In order to maximize both the strength potential and appearance of your leg and glute muscles, there are some key exercises you will want to focus on. By doing so, you'll be sure you're getting the most for your time spent as well as see the quickest results possible - because no one wants to spend more time doing leg workouts than they have to. The primary reason being it's those last few inches at the very bottom of the squat where you're really going to call the hamstrings and glutes into play, contracting the muscles to maximum tension. Try and go as low as you can comfortably, and then straighten the leg again until you're at the top of the position. Conclusion

Author, Rebekah Baumgardner: 'Metabolism is a murky subject that has taken on a meaning of its own.' What Is Metabolism?

Then add to your BMR how many calories you burn doing your daily activities, and add what you burn in the gym, and voila! Metabolism Myths The word metabolism is one of the most misunderstood words related to training (second only to motivation, but that's another story).

5 Leg Press Variations
When it comes to building muscle and shaping your physique, things can get very complicated. It does take a strategic plan, consistency and time to make the changes – but, sometimes, all you need is a simple tweak to change things up. Training Strategy Let’s talk legs. Key Leg Exercises My two favorite exercises for leg development are the squat and the leg press. My Favorite Leg Press Variations 1. This is the “normal” leg press foot position. 2. Moving your feet higher on the leg press will move the emphasis to the hamstrings and glutes. 3. This is a wide stance with your toes pointed outward at about a 45 degree angle. 4. This one always surprises people and is one of my absolute FAVORITE exercises for developing quads! 5. You can do these with any one of the above foot positions (although, I haven’t tried a single-leg frog stance and don’t think my knees would like it) for even more intense leg pressing.
