Lower Body
57 Episodes
The lower body, comprising the hips, thighs, knees, calves, and feet, forms the foundation of human movement and stability. It houses some of the largest muscles in the body, like the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, crucial for mobility, balance, and power generation. Maintaining strength, flexibility, and endurance in the lower body is vital for everyday activities, sports performance, and injury prevention. Strong lower body muscles support proper posture, alleviate strain on joints, and enhance overall athletic performance. Regular exercise targeting the lower body, such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts, promotes functional movement patterns and contributes to long-term physical well-being.
