Leg Workout!

Your legs represent the largest muscles in your body so should never be negelected. All of us need good leg development for a complete body, no matter who you are. Aside from looking good, well developed legs will help you in just about any sport since they are an integral source of power. In addition to amazing strength ability, the legs also have lots of endurance. Think about all the times you call upon your leg muscles: walking from place to place, up and down stairs, dancing in a club, driving, bending down, getting up, getting out of bed, playing sports etc.
