It features a coordinated sequence of targeted exercises designed to work all the major leg muscles, from the quadriceps and hamstrings to the inner thighs and calves.

Here, the lower legs are being targeted as you are lifting the weight while being seated. It completely engages the quadriceps, especially relevant after the leg press.

3. Seated hip adduction

This one focuses on the inner thighs. It also enhances the posture. This inner-thigh exercise extends to improving the entire leg's strength.

4. Sitting calf raises

The last exercise in the sequence is calf raises, which target the calf muscles. It also enhances ankle stability and overall lower-leg strength.

For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun.

On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family.
