Home Quad Workout: Leg Extensions

Everybody has been asking for leg exercises, here is my current personal favorite - leg extensions. It is important to note that there is a lot of controversy about this exercise, many physical therapists strongly advise against it. I emphasize this a lot but its even more important in this exercise, JOINT PAIN IS NOT GOOD. If you get any twinges of pain in you knee, STOP immediately. Also, perform this exercise very slowly with complete control - no swinging or bouncing.

Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn't have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

Nutrition is key to being able to add muscle! I cover nutrition on my website, if thats not detailed enough for you I have reviewed and recommended some excellent books:

Hi Scooby: Can you start doing your vids in nothing but a jock strap (perferably a black one?) Your bare feet shots in this vid are hot too!

Most long distance runners will do more than just run .. o.o

[Evilcyber]

It depends on your level of fitness. If you just started out running, your legs will develop muscle - enough to cope with the new stress. But after they have done that, it becomes an endurance exercise for them.

Just look at long distance runners like Haile Gebrselassie and their legs.

Why don't you just try?

[SaltyGrogDrink]

WOW! I think I might of made some mistakes a while back! >.>

(Scooby has Captain Falcon legs XD)

[spartaninian]

Is running considered a leg exercise too? or just aerobic?

I giggled for about 5 minutes after reading this comment. "wise & buff"...love it, lol. I haven't heard anyone use the term 'buff' since I was a kid in the 1980's. U took me way back:0) Yeah, Scooby's amazing, & yes a hero to many. I only wish he & YT were around when I started training (improperly).
