Most of our activities during the day require highly strong leg
muscles and hip mobility, as the muscles in these areas support the body
while walking, jumping, or running. Lower body strength is crucial for
our overall physical fitness and health, and it can rev up metabolism.
Our
lower body consists of the hips, legs, and butt, which contain some of
the largest and strongest muscles of the body, needed for most of our
day-to-day activities and in sports.
The lower body helps to
stabilize our body and supports our everyday normal activities. This
enhances the balance and agility and lowers the risk of falling and
injuries.
The strength of the lower body boosts stamina as well and helps you burn more calories.
Additionally, strengthening the lower body will soothe muscle pain
and the aches due to the strain on the back, and improve body posture.
Therefore,
in order to enjoy all these benefits, and tone, tighten, and strengthen
the thighs and legs, try the following exercises which are the magic
trick you need!
Basic Leg Lifts
On the left side
with the legs stretched and the feet flexed, bend the left elbow for the
left hand to support the head. Bend the knee to make a 90-degree angle,
and engage the outer thigh to lift the right leg, and make a 45-degree
angle. This is the starting position for most of the exercises. Hold for
a few seconds, and repeat.
