Lower Body

Brain gains through lower body exercises:

  • Build strength, stability, and power in the legs, glutes, and core

  • Support balance and overall mobility

  • Improve posture

  • Enhance athletic performance

  • Help prevent injury.

    Taking your time with proper form ensures targeted muscle engagement and reduces strain on joints. Focused breathing supports endurance and helps maintain control during challenging reps, fostering both physical strength and mental focus.
