@_fitlifemaster_: Leg Extension vs Leg Curl — Explanation This video shows the difference between leg extensions and leg curls and which muscles each exercise targets. 🔹 Leg Extension Main muscle: Quads (front of the thigh) In a leg extension,you straighten your knees against resistance. What it trains: Quadriceps Front of the legs Why it’s useful: Isolates the quads Helps build quad size and definition Good for learning quad control Key point: You are moving the knee joint,and the quads do most of the work. 🔹 Leg Curl Main muscle: Hamstrings (back of the thigh) In a leg curl,you bend your knees against resistance. What it trains: Hamstrings Back of the legs Why it’s useful: Strengthens the hamstrings Improves balance between front and back of the legs Helps protect the knees Key point: The hamstrings control the movement by flexing the knee. 🔑 Know the Difference Leg extensions = quads (front) Leg curls = hamstrings (back) They work opposite sides of the leg,and both are important for strong,healthy legs. 🎯“Leg extensions train the front.Leg curls train the back.” #legextension #legcurls #quads #hamstrings #lowerbodyworkout #fitness #workout #gym #legday #legextension #legcurls #quads #hamstrings #legday #lowerbodyworkout #fitness #gym #fyp
