HOW TO BUILD LEG MUSCLES

The best way to build leg muscles is by utilizing compound exercises such as squats. Squats work out your hamstrings, glutes, quads and calves. Do 3-4 sets of squats with 10-15 reps on each set. You can also build leg muscles by deadlifting. This works out the hamstrings and the lower back. Another great exercise is lunges, which work out your quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes.
