"Leg Workouts Are An Important Key To Fat Loss Success," Says Kyla Gagnon of BodyRipped
Victoria, BC (PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- They are the envy of every woman and the focus of male attention around the world. Great legs are more easily attained than one might realize and for reasons which defy logic and beyond comprehension, women avoid doing leg workouts.
Getaway sticks, pipes, pins, gams...they have gone by many names which has changed over the years. So too has the idea or conception of what the perfect female leg should look like.
There are two things which remain constant however; a woman’s desire to have lovely legs and the method by which to obtain them.
Leg workouts can basically take two forms. Body weight leg workouts and weighted leg workouts. Running will fall within the category of body weight leg workouts for obvious reasons, but that is a completely separate article altogether.
What is defined by women around the world today as beautiful legs has moved away from the long thin, almost shapeless appendage, to a lusciously curved, muscularly toned specimen. Diamond shaped calves, fully defined quads, half moon hamstrings into a tightly rounded glute, draws the jaw dropping glances from both men and women alike.
Isn’t it nice to know it isn’t going to require you to spend your life in a gym focused only hours a day doing leg workouts to make this a reality?
“Leg Workouts can be built into almost any routine and what’s even more exciting is they can be done in relatively short periods of time. Just as important is the fact you will crank your metabolism for up to 38 hours after you are done,” says fitness expert and BodyRipped creator Kyla Gagnon.
The reason, Gagnon discusses, is the activation of some of the largest muscle groups contained in the body. These muscles can be activated in both bodyweight leg workouts or weighted leg workouts as we already mentioned.
The fastest way to begin changing the way legs are shaped is to do leg workouts using weight. “If you could only do two exercises using weights it should be the squat and the deadlift,” Gagnon says emphatically. “The benefits of doing your leg workouts using these two exercises are exponential. Using the larger muscles will activate what I call the Xcelerate Effect in your body to keep your metabolism burning for hours upon hours after your leg workout is done.”
“If you choose leg workouts which are primarily focused on using bodyweight exercises, you can do amazingly effective exercises such as box jumps, tuck jumps, speed skater squats, air squats and hamstring bridges which can all be done in workouts which are only 12 minutes long.”
The tendency to avoid leg workouts often is due to time and sometimes a lack of energy but this no longer has to be the case. Gagnon has revolutionized the fitness industry through her site http://BodyRipped.net providing hours upon hours of free workouts as well as complete follow along videos for her members. What is exciting is she does it with an amazingly positive and infectious energy in very short periods of time.
Working toward great legs has the added benefit of unlocking an important fat loss strategy as part of a complete fitness regimen.
Gagon continues her Ripped Nation Transformation quest which is to transform the lives of 25,000 people.
