Legs and Specific Muscles that are Targeted!

I often joke that in my small family of three (My partner Rebecca, dog Ocho and myself...) that I am the least intelligent member of the family. The dog is a genius and Rebecca is deep into medical school. Not that I am some kind of idiot, they are just brilliant.

I am preparing for my personal trainer certification and memorizing names of muscles, what joints they move and what exercises are used to work those muscles. Rebecca made the point that since I am already blogging workouts, why not add in the muscles worked in here to help with that! Like I said, brilliant.

Today's quote is from W.C. Fields:

"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull."
