If you were initiated into the world of fitness under the tutelage of a high school P.E. teacher or a personal trainer at a massive commercial gym franchise, the leg extension may be the first resistance exercise for legs that you’ve encountered. The reason for this is because educators are often paranoid about trainees getting injured on their watch, and leg extensions are among the simplest and safest leg exercises to learn in a controlled fitness environment. While most tried-and-true methods for training legs with weights require multi-joint movement, leg extensions only necessitate the straightening of a previously bent leg against consistent resistance.

Presented in the critically successful docudrama Pumping Iron as an unexpected entrant into the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest , Nubret was, in fact, a well-known and respected competitor at the time who was an instant threat at any show he entered. But despite possessing a physique that many believed deserved an Olympia title , Nubret was denied the opportunity to compete in the IFBB following a series of disputes with league owners Ben and Joe Weider in 1975. Instead, he joined Sergio Oliva in a renegade bodybuilding federation.

Nature hikes and trail walking are great ways to spend a day away from the gym. They give you a breath of fresh air while training your cardiovascular system and don’t need a ton of flash to deliver a great workout. As outdoor enthusiasts can attest, even a small incline makes a big difference on how much effort it takes to move.  The treadmill is a solid alternative when you don’t have access to the great outdoors. The sights and sounds are certainly less majestic but the challenge isn’t going anywhere. While you’ll be able to control for consistent weather and terrain, you’ll also be able to push the pace and incline.

At first glance, a session on the treadmill seems like it would be a walk in the park, but simple doesn’t always mean easy. For some great health benefits and a test of...
