2 leg moves for strong truncks

They are everywhere these days. Those big glutes and strong legs are splashed all over social media. Are you proud of the work you do on your legs or do you need some guidance? 

There are many great moves that you can do to get your "trunks" in strong shape. I am going to touch on 2 of them. These should be staples in your routine.

1. Squats!

I touched on what squats are good for in my blog post "Squats, what are they good for" but I want to have this move out front and center because it is a multi-dimensional move. There are so many ways to incorporate a squat into your leg day routine.

Front squat, Knee squat, Sitting squat, One-legged squat.....I could go on but I think you get the point. Squats can be done with heavy weight or with no weight.

What does the squat help? Well other than working all the muscle groups in your legs they help build your core and improve balance. You should be doing some form of squats twice a week.

2. Deadlifts

Now some people may think that deadlifts are just for power lifters or professional body builders...but you would be wrong. Anyone can do deadlifts and you do not need a barbell, you can use dumbbells or kettlebells, whatever you have available. 

There is also a few varieties of deadlift. You can do sumo, Romanian, stiff leg. Find what works best for you.

Those are the two staple moves that I think should be included in every leg day!! 

If you have some other suggestions please feel free to share.
