High intensity, short duration running workouts like HIIT can help you build lower body muscle, especially in your quadriceps and hamstrings.
Try to do these workouts 3–4 times per week.
You can also modify them based on your comfort level and training experience.
For example, if you can’t catch your breath between sets, increase your rest time or decrease your total number of sets. Conversely, you can amp up these routines by decreasing your rest time, increasing your number of sets, or both.
In either case, don’t forget to warm up beforehand and cool down afterward to help prevent injuries and boost recovery.
To prime your body for the workout, do light jogging or jumping jacks for a few minutes, followed by dynamic movements like lunges or air squats
After your workout, walk at a normal pace for 5–10 minutes. An active cooldown helps lower your heart rate and prevents waste products from accumulating in your muscles.
