Rashmika Mandanna's dedication to fitness is well-known. In reality, she has been on the fitness track for the longest period and makes sure to devote adequate time to strength and conditioning. As a result, the Pushpa actress was seen working on her quadriceps with a strenuous leg exercise.
Mandanna uploaded a video from her trainer Junaid Shaikh, saying, "This is a video @junaid.shaikh88 has captured where my soul is leaving my body and returning." He is gradually and methodically transforming me into a superhuman...I must tell that seeing this film makes my inner beast very pleased..."
On the lever machine, Mandanna may be seen doing leg extensions. "The quadriceps muscles of the front of the thigh—the rectus femoris and the vastus muscles—are worked as you sit on a padded seat and raise the padded bar with your legs." "You can use this exercise as part of a strength training workout to build lower body strength and muscle definition," said fitness expert Garima Goyal.
Why do this exercise?
Leg extensions are open-chain kinetic workouts that target the major muscles on the front of the thighs and do not require the legs to be stationary. "While compound exercises engage multiple leg muscles, leg extensions provide significant isolated volume to the quads, resulting in optimal strength development in the legs," added Goyal.
As a low-impact exercise, there is less strain on the joints, resulting in a lower chance of injury.
Goyal further mentioned that it improves knee stability. "The biomechanics of leg extensions employ a torque force that requires you to push through your quads in order to straighten your knee." Your patella and quadricep knee attachment ligaments will strengthen as a consequence. "Performing leg extensions on a regular basis reinforces this biomechanic and helps to reduce your risk of injury by improving knee stability," Goyal explained.
According to Goyal, strengthening the quadriceps and thighs improves athletic performance. "Because your quads contribute to your overall stability and balance, doing leg extensions improves those metrics as well." Strong quads will help you lift heavier and perform better in the gym. Your quads have a big impact on both lower and upper leg motions. "These are used in squats, deadlifts, and other lower-body strengthening exercises," she explained.
