I want to build up my legs?
438592
as a track and cross country runner building my legs mass wasn't something that I needed to do but as I've gotten older I got more interested in it cuz I was always skinny. I can eat anything and never gain any weight. Well, as usual when I'm in training, I eat everything and my apetite is always so much more. \nHere's my advice, when I wanted to gain mass I worked out twice a day and I lifed weights on my shoulders on a machine that allowed me to lay in an angle and I lifted more weight than what was comfortable for me. I would hold weights in my hands and stand on the edge of the stairs and work my calfs too. Sometimes I would fill a back pack up with heavy books and lift them to work my calfs.\nI would sit on the work out machine that would allow me to lift the weight that would work my quads and hamstrings.\nWhile working out I made sure that I ate steaks, vegetables at every meal and lots of bread. I ate so much food so I could put more weight on. I always had a water bottle with me and that and Gatorade was all I drank. I drank so much water that everytime I peed it was nothing but water.\nN E Way, within 2 weeks of working out twice a day and everyday making my workout harder, I became so huge in the legs. It was so cool. Of course, after I noticed the difference and everyone noticing the difference it made me work harder.\nI wouldn't try anything unnatural or the powder (which my husband used to use and it did nothing for him) but I guess it works differently with everyone. Some people I know who use the powder look like they are on steriods and they begin to look freakish. \nDo it naturally cuz the minute you stop using that stuff you will loose all mass.

stretch become more flexable, make you leg muscels stronger to add height to your jumps, and learn some tumbling like cartwheels and round offs stuff like that

Strengthening your legs and their fast-twitch muscle fibers can add inches to your vertical jump. This can help your basketball, volleyball or football game tremendously. \n\nThe Program  \n  \n  Steps:  \n1.   Begin every workout by warming up your muscles and then doing extensive leg stretches. Because you'll be building muscle fibers that are used for explosive activities such as jumping, stretching is of the utmost importance.  \n  \n2.   Jump rope for its excellent cardiovascular conditioning. This step should never be skipped, as it will be an important contributor to your results.  \n  \n3.   Sprint. This builds muscle, which will add to your jumping ability.  \n  \n4.   Run stairs on your toes. Start by running up a flight, one step at a time. Walk down and run back up, taking two steps at a time. Repeat as many times as you can manage.  \n  \n5.   Do sets of elevated jumps (see the next section).  \n  \n6.   Do sets of explosive jumps (see the third section).  \n  \n7.   Do sets of double jumps (see the third section).  \n  \n8.   Rest your legs at least two days a week. Results will come from sustaining the exercise program, not performing it aggressively for a few weeks and then slacking off.  \n  \n  \nElevated Jumps  \n  \n  Steps:  \n1.   Begin by placing a step bench or platform on the ground (many health clubs have a platform for just this purpose).  \n  \n2.   Stand on the platform, then jump backward onto the ground, concentrating on landing softly.  \n  \n3.   Jump back onto the platform immediately, with a bouncing motion.  \n  \n4.   Complete three sets of 10 repetitions. Be very careful when performing this exercise, as there is a potential for injury.  \n  \n  \nExplosive Leg Jumps and Double Jumps  \n  \n  Steps:  \n1.   Position yourself for an explosive leg jump by facing a secure platform and placing your right foot on it.  \n  \n2.   Jump as high as you can, concentrating on exploding off the right leg. Scissor your legs once in the air, then land with your left foot on the platform and your right foot on the floor. Gather yourself and explode upward again, this time off the left foot.  \n  \n3.   Do three sets of 10 repetitions, resting for about 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets.  \n  \n4.   Execute a double jump by jumping as high as possible with both feet from a stationary position.  \n  \n5.   Jump again immediately upon landing, using less effort.  \n  \n6.   Repeat until you've accomplished three sets of 10 jumps each.  \n  \n  \n Overall Warnings:  \n Some of these exercises, particularly stair runs and explosive leg jumps, can cause injury if not performed properly. Your knees, in particular, are especially susceptible.  \n  \n Make sure you thoroughly understand all instructions before attempting the exercises.

Try some push ups. They truly strengthen everything: your abs, arms, legs, inner soul (kiiiidding about that last one). You could also do some lunges. They really help strengthen your leg muscles.

Walk to tone the legs but keep at a low pace so you don't bulk it.  Or you can do pilates or yoga to extend your muscles giving you a toned, (not scrawny or bulky) physique.

you should try stretching more often..but not too much, you could damage your leg muscles.  start w/ normal streches like touching your toes, then work your way up.  hey, you might want to join a yoga class or something like it!

Lay flat on your stomach and lift each leg (keep leg straight out).  It works out your gluts.

Pull yourself up on a pull up bar.Fingers facing out.Then bring both your legs up together so your body is like an L.Your legs have to be flat and bring them up slowly and drop them slowly.You might want to add weights on your feet also,because like your biceps to make them bigger and more noticable,you have to strengthen them to make them grow.Or your bodyfat might be a little too high.

Run,run,run. Dont run up hill or use the incline on a treadmill or stairstepper. This will build muscle but you'll still have a layer of fat on top of the muscle which will make your legs and butt look bigger. Get the fat off first with cardio and then work on muscle tone. Good luck.

Do you mean enlarge your "thighs"?  If  you want larger legs I suggest you go to the gym.  The best leg workout you can get is  squats.  Leg press machine works well too on your thighs, but doesn't do much for your butt.

try working on your abs, this will allow you to get your legs up higher...maybe try jumping on a trampoline also. it doesnt have to be big, i have a small one and my jumps have improved a lot! also work on arm strength for the back handspring..just work hard at it! and once you get it you'll have it. just practice. trust me! :) k well i hope it helps.

First try running up and down a few flights of stairs on your tippy toes.  You can also try finding something heavy and holding on to it, while you stand with you tippy toes on the edge of a stair and do calf raises.  Instead of leg presses at the gym, use the leg press machine and extend it fully with your legs, then slide your feet down until your toes are on the edge of the foot support part of the machine.  Using just your toes extend the machine back and forth, doing a sitting version of calf raises.  Jogging and playing basketball will also strengthen your leg and calf muscles.
