You can go far with strong legs. It is important to do leg exercises at home because the largest muscles in the body are found in the buttocks. The leg muscles are essential for the movements we make in everyday life or in sports such as running, swimming, or bicycling. Well-trained legs not only give us a strong back and core, but also the stability we need for good athletic performance. Fortunately, effective leg exercises don't have to be complicated and don't even require a gym membership. With a bench, you can do many leg exercises at home to get stronger.
What is the purpose of leg bench training?
Leg training means burning more calories, increasing big lifts, improving mobility, and of course, increasing strength, power, and size. Leg training on the bench will focus on the anterior and posterior chains. The front chain includes the quadriceps, adductors, hip stabilizers, and the front of the calves. The posterior chain muscles are made up of the hamstrings, glutes, the back of the calves, additional hip abductors, and stabilizers.
Why are leg exercises important?
Because they often involve multiple muscles, leg exercises can be more intense than most upper body movements. Because they start slowly and the recovery period is longer and more painful, many people skip leg days.
However, if you miss a leg day too often, you can lose your balance and be more prone to injury. And you may not know that bench leg training is also vital for brain and nervous system health. Research published in Frontiers has shown that the legs send important signals to the brain that can help produce nerve cells (essential for coping with stress and adapting to challenges).
Leg workout at home (with bench)
Doing leg exercises at home is probably a lot easier than you think. You don't need a leg press or squat bar to activate your lower body muscles. All you need is your body weight, maybe a bench, and the motivation to burn some of your quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, and inner thighs.

These are the 4 most effective leg workouts you can do at home to get those big muscles moving with a bench.
1. Enter
Muscles worked: glutes and hamstrings
Pick one foot, push through the heel as you step onto the bench. Lift the other foot to stand on the bench. Return to the starting position by lowering one foot and then the other. Grab a dumbbell in each hand with your arms fully extended at your sides and palms facing in for increased difficulty.
2. Squat with one leg
Muscles worked: quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes
Extend your arms for balance. Roll your shoulder blades back and keep your back straight. Lift your unsupported foot off the ground and lower your hips to lightly touch the bench and straighten up.
3. Bank rest
Muscles worked: quadriceps, hamstrings, abductors, glutes
Support the bench with your hands, keeping your back straight. Push yourself off the floor and jump from one side of the sofa to the other. Land softly with your knees bent and your feet as close together as possible.
4. Bulgarian squat
Muscles worked: Thighs and glutes
Like a single-leg unilateral squat, the exercise puts more stress on the quadriceps than any other muscle in the body.
With your feet hip-width apart, lift one foot and place it on the bench. Lower your hips toward the bench so your back knee is close to the floor. Stop and cross your front heel to return to the starting position. If you find the exercise too easy, take a dumbbell in each hand with your arms fully extended at your sides and palms facing in to increase the difficulty.
How often should you train your legs?
According to research, there isn't a huge difference between training your leg muscles once a week or three times a week when you focus on building maximum muscle. What makes the biggest difference is the volume of resistance training; H how many sets and reps you do. Higher volume workouts (eg, 3 sets of 12 reps or even 4 sets of 8 reps) generally produce better results than training the same muscle group multiple times per week.
So for leg workouts at home, you can stick to the basic moves of 3 sets of 12 reps for each exercise.
Conclusion
According to a study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning, regular exercise rotation is just as effective as increasing exercise intensity. And yes, effective leg training ensures a healthy range of front and back muscles.
We could benefit a lot from training our legs on the bench. So if you enjoy it the most, please let me know in the comment section below.

This is what happens when I get bored. I decided to straddle a puddle and shoot down at my reflection. I then had to ice my hamstrings :)

It's been awhile since I posted a photo here in my yoga journal. The last six months of yoga practice have been warm and stretchy in Japan and cold, but maintained here in Eugene. There haven't been many big eventful posture breakthroughs, but my practice has been consistent during the last six hectic months, which I am happy about.
Last Sunday, I was told in led class that this posture was much improved and that it could be a "yoga journal posture", so here it is.
I picked this photo of this guy and his rad tribal leg tats because he is holding his feet the same way I do. The ladies in most of the photos have their elbows past their legs and I'm not there yet (which is just fine).
I felt nice and strong bandha action in this posture. I remember when I first started doing it that I was so scared that I would hurt my tail bone somehow while getting into it from the previous posture (laying down with feet over the head, touching the floor). I've still never injured my tail bone getting into this posture, but it does require a lot of conscious bandha engagement to make that happen.
It's still a challenging posture to get into and I still put my feet down first and then lift them up. But it has felt stronger and I guess it looks that way from the outside too. And yay for flexible hamstrings! Those have definitely made this posture possible.

I've known Jon since I was a junior in high school. I had just torn my hamstring during a rehearsal of the "gym scene" in West Side Story. The Jets had carried me off the stage after the disastrous dance with Riff and laid me down on a stack of choral risers in the wings.
I was laying there in the dark, staring at the ceiling as tears rolled down my cheeks, when I heard a voice. "What's up, Briar Rose?" it asked. Apparently, I had an eerie resemblance to a dead princess waiting to be kissed. Sticking with the Disney theme, I answered in kind, "Not much, Quasimodo." Jon is not a hunchback, nor is he French, but he did have the whole lurking-in-the-dark-on-the-fly thing going for him and there blossomed a beautiful friendship.
Since then I have given up my stage for my love of photoj and Jon has become the performer. Every so often our paths cross. I've had the opportunity to shoot both his album covers and then this weekend, my employer gave me an assignment to shoot our local boy at the 2nd Annual Silver Spring Blues Festival.

I usually try to stay away from this shot. Every event at Silver Plaza has this exact set-up. But Jon being a solo performer with an interesting look, I went for it, capturing the banner in the background and allowing a lot of space at the top of the frame because it was clean and the color of the canopy tied in to the shoot.

The North Carolina Tar Heels, a power five program out of the Atlantic Coast Conference, dealt Old Dominion its first home defeat since November 2015. But in the loss, ODU gained a new starting quarterback.
True freshman Steven Williams, a graduate of Woodrow Wilson H.S. in Washington, D.C., replaced starting quarterback Jordan Hoy and backup QB Blake LaRussa in the 53-23 loss.
"When you don't have a first down in the first quarter and you have no energy on the sideline because the players feel it, you have to make the move," ODU head football coach Bobby Wilder explained. "I didn't go into this game thinking [Williams] would play."
Seeing his first action, the 17 year old Williams completed 9-of-20 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble. Williams added 34 rushing yards on seven attempts.
"We haven't developed an identity on offense," Wilder noted. "Stevie Williams today gave us an identity. Steven Williams is the quarterback of the Old Dominion football team moving forward."
"They just said 'let's go," Williams explained of how he learned he was about to receive his first college playing time. "My teammates were all behind me. I just had to go do my job and we'll be fine."
Old Dominion outscored North Carolina (1-2), 16-14, in the second half, after trailing the Tar Heels, 39-7, at the half.
Prior to the game, ODU learned All-Conference USA running back Ray Lawry, the program's all-time leading rusher, has a torn hamstring. Head coach Bobby Wilder reveals the injury could keep Lawry sidelined for the remainder of the season.
