Strong glute muscles not only imrpove your performance while playing sports, but also helps to prevent injury.

Leg presses and squats both work the legs, but they have their differences. Both should be incorporated into a workout.

The leg extension is a popular way to train the quadriceps at the front of your knee. But heavy weights and improper form increases your risk of knee injury.

A weighted reverse leg curl strengthens your hamstrings. This hones balance in your lower body for better function.

The clicks that you hear while doing leg raises are likely a result of a muscle or tendon moving abnormally over a bone.

When it comes to getting those six-pack abs, just say no to crunches! They’re boring and offer little benefit in the gut-busting department. Instead of packing on winter pounds and hiding that muffin top underneath layers of sweaters -- lean out, tone up and whittle that waistline without the crunches.

Can you stand on one leg? Can you stand still on one leg for 30 seconds? How about with your eyes closed? If you didn’t make an A+ on that quick assessment, it may be time to start incorporating balance training into your fitness regimen.

When you hear anyone refer to your core, you no doubt think of your abs — or at least some other guy or gal’s enviable six-pack.

Exercises for the hamstrings and calves will give the backs of your legs a toned and tight appearance.

If injury or other mobility problems prohibit you from exercising while standing, there are plenty of seated leg exercises you can do.

To make your butt bigger, you have to strength train. You can build muscle and stay skinny at the same time.

A warm up is important before each workout. Light cardio followed by activity-specific dynamic moves will help you perform better and prevent injury.
