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.
