Gym-goers are probably already familiar with the old trope of “never skip leg day” — and for a good reason. Overworking your upper body at the expense of your lower half can be detrimental to both, as injuries can occur if your body is not balanced. Luckily, this super quick, easy-to-follow leg workout from celebrity trainer Demi Bagby will help you build leg definition fast.
Building leg strength will also help you to improve balance, posture and stability. It can even help you feel stronger and more powerful while working on other areas of the body. Grab your mat, gym shoes and maybe even a dumbbell – or adjustable dumbbell if you're feeling adventurous – to take it up a notch, and you’re all set!
