SEC-s20w3: Fitness Training 👉 quest for stronger legs
I wanted to smile from cheek to cheek when I read that the major muscles group at the leg region and "having strong legs is advantageous because it contributes to good health even at old age." I am well past that age, so I emphasize all my body parts, but my legs are my center of focus because I sit for more than 10-12 hours a day working online.
That's true, we all need movements according to our age. I am lucky that being a sportsman right from a very young age I understand the value of exercising and warming up, so let me show my ways of keeping my legs moving and strong.
Let me vouch for your statement.
Leg exercises keep our legs balanced and strong.
I feel better in my everyday activities.
I can't say it reduces the risk of injury because I am in an age group that can send me off balance despite my best efforts, but yes, it boosts up my self-confidence.
I agree younger people can perform athletically with strong legs, but I try to do as much as is expected from people my age, and I am okay with what I can do because I can do much better than most people my age. And of course, we have many more advantages if we have stronger legs.
I can bike, and I bike with a mountain bike.
I run regularly on a treadmill.
I use an exercise bike.
I go for long walks.
I jog regularly
I can send someone off the floor if such a need arises with my commando training during my younger age.
Types of leg muscle exercises
As you said, there are different programs that help to strengthen the leg muscles easily. However, I see no need to lose body weight in my case, as I have been working out for decades, so I will focus on how I keep my legs and body fit in my way. I will focus on my personal way of strengthening my legs.
I remember what I did last week, but probably my age has something to do with it because I couldn't do it at the same pace as what my younger fellow Steemins can do and missed by a whisker, but no worries. I will still do the program at my own pace and space.
As you said
We should try out depending on your abilities.
That's right lunge, glute bridge, step-up, and calf; these are all the major programs for strengthening the leg muscles. However, as I said, I have come to the point where I have developed my own programs suitable for my age group. Trust me, I can do all that you have suggested in your lesson, but that might create complications, so I have limited my program to jogging and running at a slow pace.
I have a set of dumbbells of 25 pounds each, which was one of my favorite ways of doing all exercises, and even the legs were included, but no more.
Lunges
Yes, of course, this is my favorite exercise program that I do because it strengthens the leg. As you said :
"It is achieved by staying in a position whereby one leg is bent forward with foot flat on the floor while the other leg is in a kneeling position backwards."
Glute bridge
My way of doing it
To start with, I mostly exercise in the stadium where I used to play badminton. As it was raining in the morning, I went upstairs and used my third-floor stairs for stepping up and down for about 6-7 minutes. By the way, I used to do it for thirty minutes during my badminton playing days in a stadium where the audience sits during football or hockey games and the steps are far wider than these steps. Oh, those old days!
I showed you last week that lifting the legs alternatingly onto a high step, with your chest up, and then returning the same leg to the original position before lifting the next leg or the same leg. I have stopped using a dumbbell while doing this, and you also suggest that we can do it without a dumbbell.
As I have mentioned, I carry out the leg exercises as much as possible but not as per all the programs listed above for obvious reasons, and I hope you will understand that. I do the repetitions as much as possible.
I do all my workouts possibly all seven days, even if I do them for a limited time and less serenely.
👉 I carry out stretches each day.
In my case, I remain hydrated but drink water at least 30 minutes before starting my workout and not immediately after I finish it.
👉Tell us your overall feelings and ask your questions concerning the programs.
If I am fit and working 12 hours a day on and offline, it's all because I try my best to keep fit, eat healthy, and follow everything regularly. So now you're the judge and decide what else should I do?
I invite, @josepha, @ruthjoe and @senehasa
This is good or you as it is not everyone at your age that can Nike with a mountain bike. I now know the reason why you are smart, faster and gallant. Indeed keeping fits boost our immune system and makes us stronger and healthy. I will try the exercises you have shared with us. Good luck to you.

Hi! You look like you keep a good workout according to your age, that's great, going for a bike ride is very beneficial for health, plus we can breathe the nice fresh air, when I was little I liked to ride my bike but now I need a bigger one and they are very expensive.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for your appreciation. Being a sportsperson right from a young age I have never stopped my workouts even if I was out of town. I agree these bikes are costly like the one you see in this post is almost $3000 or 15000 Steem. Have a nice time.
