BIGGER LEGS FOR GREATER HEART HEALTH
Leg size can make all the difference in heart health.
by Jim Stoppani, PhD
Research from Denmark has shown that leg size can make all the difference in heart health. Scientists followed almost 3,000 men and women for more than 10 years for development of heart disease and total death. Those with a leg size just below 22 inches (measured at the top of the leg) had about double the risk of developing cardiovascular and coronary heart diseases, as well as total mortality, over those 10-plus years. Bodyfat had no influence on the association of larger leg size and reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases and total mortality. The team concluded that having greater muscle mass appears to provide protection from developing cardiovascular disease and overall risk of death. So get to work on those legs. Weâre not suggesting you bring them up to Kai Greeneâs level, but just make sure theyâre larger than 22 inches in diameter.

bro I think you mean the circumference not diameter!
My leg is 29 inches around my thigh, If the diameter was 29 inches then my leg would be 91 inches around!!

Agree with you but I does not write this article. However, 22 in. circumference ain't that big either. Branch Warren is an example of bad ass wheels. Way more than 22 in. dia, circumferences or Pi x square root of 2 millions sound of speed...LoL!!!
