The importance of working each muscle group should be drilled into to those embarking on exercise regimes.
This ensures that your strength increases enabling you to exercise harder.
A proportionate body which has been evenly increased is the most attractive kind.
most people know that areas must be worked together to ensure this even distribution.
You work a chest and back together, shoulders and arms together etc.
This makes sure that as you bulk up; it does so evenly and doesn't look strange.
Even though the importance of working all the muscle groups is well documented, it seems crazy that so many neglect their legs.
This is essential to achieve the overall look that you are striving for.
Do you want to be a hit on the beach or a laughing stock? A simple question with only one answer; and this is why your legs must be worked as hard as everywhere else.
Your rippling abs and bulging biceps won't even be notices, all people will see is the 'string beans' hanging out of your shorts.
Let's not dwell on what will happen if you do neglect your legs and what happens if you don't.
Apart from the obvious that we have mentioned above, working your legs increases your Endorphin production, that favorite hormone which makes us feel great.
If you've had a good energetic workout that has included work on a treadmill or bike, you should feel a real buzz and be full of energy.
That is your endorphins and you have your legs to thank for them.
While we are talking about running, have you realized yet that thanks to your leg work outs, you can now run a lot faster and be able to keep going for longer? That's a great achievement in itself.
There is no excuse now for ever neglecting your leg exercises.
For health, strength and, of course, vanity, make sure this muscle group is worked as hard as all the others.
