10-MINUTE WORKOUT: POWER LEGS
Stronger, more powerful legs in 10 minutes — no gym required
You may not have heard it here first but you’ve certainly heard it here often: Training your legs regularly is one of the best things you can do to enhance your body composition. The quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves represent a large portion of your body’s musculature so, by working them hard you burn more calories. This, of course, on top of the more direct benefits such as increased strength, stamina and power production. This lower-body routine allows you to train for multiple goals at once, without equipment and in just a few minutes.
