So many people skip their leg days that this bad habit became one of the most popular fitness memes, but there comes a point when it’s no longer funny. Leg exercises should be an essential part of your workout routine, and here’s how you can motivate yourself to do them on a regular basis.

Good Timing

The timing of your workouts can determine how likely you’ll be to committed to them. If leg days are giving you trouble, you should consider scheduling them at the very beginning of the week. You should also consider doing them in shorter bursts, instead of dedicating an entire workout to legs alone.

Right Exercises

If you hate your leg days, it’s probably because you’re doing exercises that you don’t enjoy. You can make things better by trying many different moves and finding the ones that suit you best, even if they’re not as effective as the ones you hate.

Perfect Balance

Focusing on a single muscle group while neglecting others is never a good idea, and it’s crucial to add some balance to your fitness routine. In addition to helping you avoid pain and injury, you’ll be more motivated for your leg day if your routine includes other exercises that you love doing.

Most women dream of having perfectly toned legs. The good news is that this can easily become a reality. Adding these five effective leg exercises to your workout routine will help you sculpt your legs in no time.

Side Lunges

The side lunge, or lateral lunge, is a great beginner exercise for strengthening your thighs and improving flexibility and balance.

Skater Lunges

This is an awesome cardio exercise that will get your heart rate up and work various muscles such as glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings.

Crab Walks

The crab walk exercise can be intense for some beginners and your leg muscles will probably burn afterward. If not, you can always use a resistance band to make this exercise more intense and effective.

Split Squats

The split squat is a basic leg exercise that targets the glutes and hamstrings. Take a look at the video below to learn how to properly perform this move.

Pistol Squats

Pistol squats are great for building lower body and core strength and will also help you tone your legs and improve balance. They are, however, pretty challenging so take your time to master this powerful move.

Strong glutes are needed for nearly every movement you do in lower body workouts. They help with tight hip flexors and they are needed for your lower back, hips, knees, and ankles to not take on extra loads. It’s possible to get stronger glutes and grow your butt by activating this area with certain exercises to engage particular muscles. Strength training is the best for increasing and strengthening the glutes. You need to target all three muscles when you are doing a leg day workout; the gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius, and the gluteus minimus. Here are four exercises for stronger and bigger glutes.

Curtsy Lunge

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and cross your left leg behind your right leg. Bend your knees until your right thigh is parallel to the floor and keep your body straight. Bring the leg back to start position and repeat on the other side.

One of the worst fitness habits that even the most devoted gym enthusiasts suffer from is the tendency to skip leg days. If you often find yourself wishing they didn’t even exist, learning about their important benefits will change your mind.

Good Form

Looking good isn’t the only reason to exercise, but most of us have certain body goals in mind. It’s pretty much impossible to reach them if you don’t set aside some time for every muscle group in your body.

Injury Prevention

You need a good foundation to power through your workouts and you’ll end up losing it if you keep skipping leg days. Your back will be sore and your balance will be off, leading to a higher risk of injuries.

Better Performance

Leg days will help you engage other muscle groups, leading to better performance in the long run. They’ll also help you burn more calories because some of the most demanding exercises actually end up engaging your whole body.

If you’re one of those people who’d rather skip a leg day because it’s too boring and demanding, giving pilates a try could change your mind. Start with these three fun exercises that will get your legs into an amazing shape.

Leg Circle

Leg circles are one of the best core exercises on the market. They are amazing for your quads and hamstrings, and even promote a healthy hip joint. In order to do them correctly, you must master the art of keeping your entire torso controlled and perfect the breath and movement pattern.

Criss-Cross

Criss-cross is one of the most popular pilates exercises, but it comes with its own set of challenges. You should give it a try after perfecting other basic moves, since it can do an amazing job with training your entire core, including your abs and lower back.

Scissor Kick

Scissor kicks are perfect exercise for everyone who’s trying to work their core and improve flexibility at the same time. In addition to helping you get stronger legs, this move also targets the upper and lower abs, allowing you to flatten the belly in no time.

One of the worst fitness habits that even the most devoted gym enthusiasts suffer from is the tendency to skip leg days. If you often find yourself wishing they didn’t even exist, learning about their important benefits will change your mind.

Good Form

Looking good isn’t the only reason to exercise, but most of us have certain body goals in mind. It’s pretty much impossible to reach them if you don’t set aside some time for every muscle group in your body.

Injury Prevention

You need a good foundation to power through your workouts and you’ll end up losing it if you keep skipping leg days. Your back will be sore and your balance will be off, leading to a higher risk of injuries.

Better Performance

Leg days will help you engage other muscle groups, leading to better performance in the long run. They’ll also help you burn more calories because some of the most demanding exercises actually end up engaging your whole body.

If you’re one of those people who’d rather skip a leg day because it’s too boring and demanding, giving pilates a try could change your mind. Start with these three fun exercises that will get your legs into an amazing shape.

Leg Circle

Leg circles are one of the best core exercises on the market. They are amazing for your quads and hamstrings, and even promote a healthy hip joint. In order to do them correctly, you must master the art of keeping your entire torso controlled and perfect the breath and movement pattern.

Criss-Cross

Criss-cross is one of the most popular pilates exercises, but it comes with its own set of challenges. You should give it a try after perfecting other basic moves, since it can do an amazing job with training your entire core, including your abs and lower back.

Scissor Kick

Scissor kicks are perfect exercise for everyone who’s trying to work their core and improve flexibility at the same time. In addition to helping you get stronger legs, this move also targets the upper and lower abs, allowing you to flatten the belly in no time.
