Focusing On Legs Today:

The Benefits Of Leg Workouts For Your Body:

1. You Engage Your Major Muscle Groups And Get Cardiovascular Load

Yes, the workouts of this type mainly aim to sculpt your legs. However, the majority of the exercises engage several muscle groups. For instance, when you perform your favorite squats, not only your glutes and quads work, but your core muscles as well. Moreover, such training sessions increase your heart rate and as a result you combine strength and cardio exercises.

2. Stronger Legs Contribute To The Better Performance Of Other Types Of Exercises

Leg workouts aim to make your legs toned and most importantly strong. Stronger legs will significantly improve your performance of other workouts, including popular cardio training sessions such as running, walking and jogging. Moreover, by strengthening your leg muscles you’ll also lower your risks of injuries while performing other types of workouts.

3. Leg Workouts Contribute To Your Weight Loss

Leg muscles belong to the biggest muscle groups of your body. It means that the more you train them, the better your metabolism works and the more calories you burn.

SMART Goals:

To make sure your goals are clear and reachable, each one should be:

  • Specific (simple, sensible, significant).
  • Measurable (meaningful, motivating).
  • Achievable (agreed, attainable).
  • Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based).
  • Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive).

How to Use SMART

  1. Specific
    Your goal should be clear and specific, otherwise you won’t be able to focus your efforts or feel truly motivated to achieve it. 
  2. Measurable
    It’s important to have measurable goals, so that you can track your progress and stay motivated. Assessing progress helps you to stay focused and feel the excitement of getting closer to achieving your goal.
  3. Achievable
    Your goal also needs to be realistic and attainable to be successful. In other words, it should stretch your abilities but still remain possible. 
  4. Relevant
    This step is about ensuring that your goal matters to you, and that it also aligns with other relevant goals. 
  5. Time-bound
    Every goal needs a target date, so that you have a deadline to focus on and something to work toward. When you use SMART, you can create clear, attainable and meaningful goals, and develop the motivation, action plan, and support needed to achieve them.

Take a moment to sit down and focus on what your S.M.A.R.T. goals are. These may change over time. Maybe you want to get into a pair of pants that are a little tight or maybe it’s a goal to get a short workout completed before you start your day. Only you can determine what your goals are.
