CALF (ANGLES)
The triceps surae (from Latin caput and sura. "three-headed calf [muscle]") is a pair of muscles located at the calf - the gastrocnemius and the soleus. These muscles both insert into the calcaneus, the bone of the heel of the human foot, and form the major part of the muscle of the posterior leg, commonly known as the calf muscle.

FEMORAL (HAMSTRING)
In human anatomy, the hamstring is a group of tendons contracted by four posterior thigh muscles (posterior femoral muscles, semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris) that make up the borders of the space behind the knee, or their corresponding tendons.
In quadrupeds, it is the single large tendon found behind the knee or comparable area.

QUADRICEPS (LEGS)
The quadriceps femoris (Latin for "four-headed muscle of the femur"), also called simply the quadriceps, quadriceps extensor, quads, is a large muscle group that includes the four prevailing muscles on the front of the thigh. It is the great extensor muscle of the knee, forming a large fleshy mass which covers the front and sides of the femur. The proper Latin plural form of the adjective quadriceps would be quadricipites. In modern English usage, quadriceps is used in both singular and plural. The singular form quadricep, produced by hypercorrection, is frequently used.
ADDUCTOR (INTERNAL THIGH)
Adductor can refer to:
- One of the anatomical terms of motion
- Adductor longus muscle
- Adductor magnus muscle
- Adductor brevis muscle
- Adductor canal

GLUTEUS (BUTTOCKS)
The gluteal muscles are a group of four muscles. Three of these muscles make up the buttocks: the gluteus maximus muscle, gluteus medius muscle and gluteus minimus muscle. The fourth and smallest of the muscles is the tensor fasciae latae muscle, which is located anterior and lateral to the rest.
The gluteus maximus is the largest of the gluteal muscles and one of the strongest muscles in the human body. It inserts at the iliotibial band and the gluteal tuberosity of the femur. Its action is to extend and to laterally rotate the hip, and also to extend the trunk.

LUMBER (LOWER BACK)
LUMBER (LOWER BACK)
The five vertebrae in the lumbar
spine in the lower section of the back and are the largest and most
powerful pieces of the movable portion of the spine. These vertebrae
are separated by cartilage disks for cushioning and are supported by the
powerful musculature and other soft tissue structures of the lower
back. The lumbar spine, like the upper potions of the back, is used for
neurological communications. The largest nerve in the human body, the
sciatic nerve, also begins in the lumbar spine and extends through the
legs and into the feet. This nerve is the reason why lower back
injuries often cause pain that radiates down the legs. The lumbar spine
is important to flexibility and strength and supports much of our
weight.
