When it comes to exercise, I dread the lower body workout. Many times, people place too much of a focus on the upper body. Squats, deadlifts, lunges and leg lifts can be difficult because it can be tedious to maintain the right form. Whatever exercise you choose, you will definitely feel the burn within a couple repetitions. Lower body workout exercises provide strength training and toning for areas such as the hips, butt, hips and thighs. Remember to start out slow, focus on your breathing and stretch beforehand!
The lunge is a basic exercise that will help you strengthen your lower body. If you get bored, you can add variations by including toe touches, twists, side stepping, or try it with dumbbells. Don’t forget to check out YouTube and other helpful online fitness resources for all your exercise needs.

Lunges are a great way to work your entire lower body! I recently began doing lunges and ab workouts during commercials. That way I can get in some lounge time but still get a workout in!

Lower body is really important to keep a balanced shape. Nothing looks worse than a built upper body on skinny little legs!!!

Most bodybuilder workouts really under-emphasize the importance of developing the lower body, resulting in dudes that look huge from the waist up and scrawny from the waist down. Thanks for you blog, it’s awesome.

A lot of body builders forsake the lower body workout to focus on getting ripped arms and chest – tsk tsk…
