Strong legs are key to living an active, healthy life. Leg strength also supports balance, mobility, and stability, helping you move with confidence while reducing the risk of injury.

Step by step

If you’d like to ease your way into getting stronger, begin with the individual asanas aimed at strengthening the major muscles of your legs.

Muscle & metabolism

Metabolism refers to your body’s ability to transform food and nutrients into energy for your bodily functions. Getting stronger improves your metabolism because it increases the amount of active (metabolic) muscle tissue in the body. By increasing your muscle mass with strengthening exercises, your body can burn excess fat (even when you’re not exercising), helping you reach and maintain your optimal weight.

Muscle and body shape

Many women are concerned they’ll end up with a bulky physique if they engage in strength training, but don’t worry. These exercises will help you tone, strengthen, and attain your optimal weight and body shape without bulking up.
