Strength Workout-Legs

Strength training is important for all muscle groups, but the legs are critical because the muscles provide the movement for almost all cardiovascular exercises. Squats are an extremely effective way to work our lower body. ​

This exercise builds the foundational muscles such as the glutes, hamstrings and quadriceps. Lunges are foundational leg exercises as well. They work the same muscles, however, the quadraceps receive a more direct work out. Working at your desk and computer for hours at a time can cause tight muscles, or worse cause muscle atrophy. These two exercises wake up your hip and leg muscles, and hopefully your brain as well. If you need a brain break between Edgenuity lessons, work out along with this video for a change. This will also prepare your body for the cardio you do after the school work is done. Enjoy!
