In basketball, the legs are the most important part of your body. A lot of people think it's the upper body because you shoot with your arms, but your legs are always carrying you, so if you don't lift leg weights, your muscles will be easily fatigued.
I used to be able to do the Chinese splits, where you open your legs sideways.
I have been blessed with strong leg muscles, and dancing really exercises one's legs.
I have - and this isn't a thing I talk about often - a decent set of legs. There's an unexpected musculature that lends them a healthy shape.
My movements, ma'am, are all leg movements. I don't do nothing with my body.
Since a lot of dance movements begin and end with the legs, there is a lot of attention drawn to them. The more sculpted and toned the better!
I'm a squat person: I love squats. I love back squats, things like that.
If I didn't have quads and hamstrings, soccer would be a lot different for me than it is now. I would be pushed all over the field. My lower body is something that has made me the player I am today, and it makes me feel strong.
I love to work out outside. Hiking is such a great workout for your lower body.
Inner-thigh strength is important, and not just for appearance sake. If you enjoy - or have always wanted to try - ice skating or roller blading, strong inner thighs will come in handy.
I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.
In baseball you train the whole body, except for the hip and eyes.
I'm blessed with nice legs, but I see lots of guys with big upper bodies and pencil legs.
I am training a lot harder, gym a lot, more muscle, strengthening my back, my legs, my muscles, my weak areas a lot.
After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable. A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go. You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow.
If I'm going to a party, I dance for as long as possible to burn the calories - the jive is great because you're on your toes a lot so it works your calves, thighs and bum.
It's just as important to work on the little muscle groups as well as the big muscle groups. People, when they train, go to gyms. I call them 'nightclub bodies' - ginormous up top, and legs are little sticks. You see a lot of people, and they forget you can't leave the little muscles behind.
If someone is worried about bulking up their quads, they're not going to do a traditional squat. They're going to do a wide-stance squat or a plie squat, which is second position dance, opening up your legs and bringing the focus to the inner thighs and not to the quads.
No self-respecting gym goer skips leg day.
The true measure of strength is through a squat and deadlift.
Ski racers are built odd with overbuilt butts and legs.
I learned to kick trees with my bare feet to strengthen my legs.
I have unreasonably strong leg muscles.
I'm freakishly good at squatting.
Most people only concentrate on their upper body and ignore their legs. It doesn't make sense to have a bulky upper body and have skinny legs. I too, fell prey to this and had weak legs.
