Home Leg Day Workouts 

Leg Day is not everyone’s favorite day of the week. Many times this essential part of the workout week is either left forgotten and ignored due to the amount of exertion required or the false interpretation that they just aren’t needed. Nowadays, many of us are on lockdown or in isolation and a decent Leg Day workout might seem impossible. That’s why TheLAShop is here for you with our top Leg Day workouts you can do from home.

Why is Leg Day Important 

Leg Day is an important part of any workout regimen because it builds a strong foundation of core muscles which is vital regardless of your exercise program. If you choose to skip leg day you run the risk of:

• Losing muscle strength. If you do not work out your legs regularly, they may become underdeveloped and weak.   
• Losing balance. If you neglect your legs during a workout week your other muscles may become more developed and thereby throw off your body’s overall physical balance.     
• Increasing your chance of injury. When you build a well-balanced foundation, your body’s muscle strength increases entirely. 
• Decreasing your chance of losing fat. Increasing your muscle mass overall will speed up your metabolism which will help you to lose weight. 

Listed below are a few great ways to get your leg work out while stuck at home.
