Leg Extensions
Leg extensions may seem like they are very easy but are certainly not, especially for those who do not practice regularly and have not managed to build their endurance in this regard. In order to improve your leg extension abilities, it is crucial to working out that part of the body to see results.
Your legs have the biggest and strongest muscles in your body, which can be a load for the body if they are not strong. In order to strengthen the muscles in the lower portion of your body, doing all sorts of exercises that target that region are key to getting what you need.
You can work out those muscles by sitting in a chair and extended a single leg into the air and seeing out long you can hold it up there. Make sure that it is exactly parallel to the floor and not higher or lower than that. This will allow your body to begin getting ready for this muscle part of your body to become stronger and longer lasting.
Working out on a leg extension machine at the gym will allow for muscle burning exercises and obviously increase the muscle mass in these areas. -

Flexibility
Flexibility is key to performing many exercises and not being flexible enough will obviously end up disappointing or even hurting you in many situations. Be sure to do regular stretching of all your body parts and take out enough time to practice. This only comes with patience, which is why it is recommended to start off slow and gradually move your way up this flexibility ladder.
Running and jogging are great ways to loosen up your muscles and making sure that you get enough rest afterwards ensures the muscles that work so hard all day that they can too rest now and grow in muscle mass.
