Secondary Muscles

While Jog primarily targets Quads, Hips, Hamstrings, Glutes, Calves , this exercise also activates several secondary muscle groups during the movement. These supporting muscles include Abs . Engaging these secondary muscles helps stabilize your body throughout the exercise, improves overall coordination, and contributes to balanced muscle development.
