3 Things You Should NEVER Do On Leg Day
Ignore Them At Your Peril..
1. Overdo it
If you go too hard, boy oh boy will you feel it EVERYWHERE over the next few days. Our legs are some of the longest, largest muscles in the body and they get used every time we walk, let alone when we work them hard in the gym.

Using “lazy” or improper form can engage the wrong muscles in the wrong ways and leave you feeling sore the next day, even when you technically aren’t overdoing it. Use a mirror every now and then to check on your form and be sure to do your exercises the right way, even when it’s hard!

Not only is it essential to commit to dedicated leg workouts if you want definition, but the rest of your workouts depend on leg strength too!

Crushing leg day is essential for making every other workout count!
Leg day is essential to get right, but what you do outside of the gym is equally important for getting the most mileage possible out of your hard work. To build the body composition you want sustainably and reap the benefits of your nutrition and exercise…
