Now, women are looking for ways to build muscle and strength – and Personal Trainer Keiana Aramani who is also founder of IndigoBlueStyle, is here to help! Here, she looks at the benefits of training your lower body, how often you should train, and what exercises to do to build your lower body strength.
Lower-body exercises build strength in lower-body muscles including your lower back, hips, glutes, and legs. Having stronger leg muscles can make it easier to walk, run, jump, lunge, squat down and balance, as well as help to increase bone strength, improves posture and decreases injuries to your knees and hips, along with your risk of falling.
It’s time to turn up the heat on your lower body with these best exercises. For each exercise, do 3 sets and 59secs.
The goblet squat is a beginner-friendly way to add heavier weight to your squats and activate your core. This move works all the major muscle groups of the lower body including the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. It helps strengthen the muscles, prevents injury and aids fat loss from the lower body and belly.
