What does "leg day" mean in fitness slang?
The term "leg day" refers to a workout session specifically focused on training the lower body, including quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. The structure is literal, combining "leg" with "day" to indicate a dedicated training split. It is widely used in gym culture, often associated with intense and physically demanding workouts that are commonly avoided or joked about due to their difficulty.
