The (Upper) Legs are made up of, in the front, your thigh muscles and quadriceps, and at the back your glutes (your but) and hamstrings.  For this workout we will start with more exercises focusing on the front of the leg.  But don’t worry most of these exercises will still stimulate the hamstrings.

This workout can be done by pretty much anyone, male or female who has a bit of experience in the gym.  For the beginners, you can also do it, just maybe scale back on two or three of the exercises or decrease the amount of sets you do per exercise.  The rep ranges are all between 8 and 20, so nothing too heavy, but you need to choose a weight which will suit you.  Do not try to go too heavy too quickly.  Make sure to use proper form and FULL range of motion in all exercises.  If your range suffers then reduce the weight!  Try not to rest too long between sets, nothing more than 1 minute and 30 seconds.
