  "account": "Janhvi Kapoor's leg day workout routine has been revealed by her fitness studio on Instagram. The post, captioned \"Spaghetti or rice? Janhvi chose legs,\" showcased the actress' leg-focused exercise session. Fitness expert Garima Goyal explained the importance of targeting the thighs, hips, and calves in a strength training program, highlighting their role in mobility, balance, metabolic health, and long-term independence. The routine includes kettlebell lifts to strengthen the lower legs and improve ankle stability, crucial for fall prevention, as well as leg extensions to isolate the quadriceps, which are vital for daily movements like standing up from a chair or climbing stairs. The leg press exercise engages multiple muscle groups, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, to build functional strength for everyday activities. From a health standpoint, leg resistance training offers benefits beyond muscle tone, such as improved insulin sensitivity, better blood sugar regulation, and a higher resting metabolic rate. These exercises become particularly important for women as they age, as hormonal changes can accelerate muscle loss and reduce bone density. Structured leg workouts in a weekly routine support strength, mobility, and long-term quality of life, emphasizing that fitness is about preserving function, independence, and resilience in the years ahead.",
