The lower body is the foundation we sit on. Whether it's climbing the stairs at home, standing up from a chair, or running for the train, we use our legs, glutes, and core muscles more than any others. So, it makes sense to look after them with plenty of leg and glute exercises.
"Lower-body strength is absolutely crucial for maintaining balance and stability, which significantly reduces the risk of falls and injuries that affect a person’s quality of life. It can also help improve and maintain mobility, so we can continue to perform day-to-day activities," says Paulina Składanowska, a certified personal trainer and Les Mills UK Trainer.
