Leg Curl and Leg Press Exercises for Building Strong Muscles

Building up strong leg muscles is just like building a strong foundation for a tall building i.e your muscular body. Once you have strong leg muscles you could be rest assured that all your weight training and lean muscle mass building would not lead to overstressed lower portion of your body. In this segment, we would discuss a few weight training exercises for the leg muscles.

Leg curl exercises

Leg curls are an excellent exercise mode for the calf and thigh muscles, to perform leg curls lift the movement arm of the curls to the contracted position in about 10 seconds. Take a pause for about 5-6 seconds. Bring back the curls to normal position. Make a repetition 4-6 times to have a complete work out.

Extension exercises for the legs

To perform this exercise efficiently, first of all bring you knees in alignment with the rotating axis of the moving arm of the curls. The exercise has to be performed at a very slow pace to gain the maximum benefits out of it. The ultra slow movements of the movement arm would be helpful in ensuring a very strong quadriceps. Make as many repetitions as possible to get the maximum out put. It is very important that you moce directly to the leg press machine following the leg curl exercises.

Leg Press Exercise

Leg press machine has all the ranges of motion to provide a complete workout of the leg muscles. In case the movements are restricted adjust the same to have complete movement range. Make slow movements and avoid locking the knees while performing the reps. Maximum affected regions with this exercising module are the frontal thigh muscles and the quadriceps.

This set of three exercises when repeated 3-4 times a week helps in providing a lot of strength to the front thigh and quadriceps region of the legs. The only important factor of consideration and caution is the slow pace in which these exercises should be performed.
