The Ultimate Guide to Leg Day: How to Train with Empower Leggings
Leg day – you either love it, or you dread it. But one thing’s for sure: strong legs are the foundation of your fitness journey. Whether you’re squatting heavy, lunging deep, or doing explosive box jumps, the right exercises (and the right gear) can make all the difference.
At GOMIFLEX, we’ve designed the Empower Leggings to keep you comfortable, supported, and confident through every set. Ready to level up your leg day? Here’s your ultimate guide to sculpting powerful, toned legs.
Why Leg Day is a Must
Your legs are home to the largest muscle groups in your body, including your quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Training these muscles doesn’t just build strength – it:
- Boosts your metabolism for greater fat burn.
- Improves athletic performance and stability.
- Builds that balanced, toned look you’re after.
Pro Tip: Consistency is key! Add leg day to your routine at least once or twice a week.
5 Must-Do Leg Day Exercises
1. Barbell Back Squats 🏋️♀️
The king of all leg exercises. Squats target your quads, glutes, and hamstrings while also engaging your core.
How to Do It:
- Place the barbell across your upper back.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Lower yourself into a squat, keeping your chest up and knees behind your toes.
- Push back up to the starting position.
Why It Works: Squats build strength and size in your legs like no other move.
Gear Tip: The stretchy comfort of GOMIFLEX Empower Leggings allows for full depth with zero restrictions.
2. Bulgarian Split Squats 🔥
This single-leg exercise works your glutes and quads while challenging your balance and stability.
How to Do It:
- Stand with one foot elevated on a bench behind you.
- Lower your hips until your front thigh is parallel to the floor.
- Push through your front heel to return to standing.
Why It Works: Great for building unilateral strength and fixing imbalances.
