It’s funny how often you see guys crushing bench press or curls but totally neglecting their legs. Meanwhile, we all expect our hearts arguably the hardest-working muscle to just keep ticking without the same dedication. As a mechanic, I see it like skipping oil changes but expecting an engine to run forever.
From a biomedical perspective, it’s wild how lower-body strength ties into cardiovascular health. Strong legs improve circulation, reduce strain on the heart, and even help with endurance. So why the imbalance? Is it just aesthetics, or is there something deeper going on with how we prioritize fitness?
I’m guilty of it too sometimes, so I’m curious how do you balance leg training with overall health goals? Any tips for making leg day less of a chore and more of a priority?
