    there are many ways,you have to see which methods that would cater to your liking to enable the building up of shoulders and legs,they may vary in different ways and the routines may be light of vigorous but you have to see what kind of regiment you would like to try

      For legs: I was told (for boxing) to stick to compound exercises and train for strength and explosive power. So lunges, squats, performed mainly with ones bodyweight. You should also include a plyometric variation of these exercises.
      (Remember to stretch, before and after)

      For shoulders: Military press, shadowboxing with light weights. Also i find lateral and front raises with light weights (i use 3kg) works wonders for the anterior delt. Also heavy bag work is great for scupting shoulers.

        When training shoulders remember their are three heads to work front(bench press incline & flat) side(military press & side raises) and rear (t-rows & reverse flys

        and legs starting with quads(leg extenstions & lunges)
        hamstrings (leg curls and squats)
        calves _calf raises

        you can try 5 rep 5 set each muscle group
        work each muscle twice a week for best results
        and dont work the same muscle on back to back days
        good luck

          LOL wtf you on about

          Getting your legs to grow in principle is easy, there are so many extremely good leg exercises out there but they all take a lot of effort and hard work! After a heavy squat session your not going to be doing a whole lot of walking for about a week!

          Here is a great leg session

          Barbell Squats 4 sets 6-8 reps
          Leg press 4 sets 12-15 reps
          Stiff leg dead lifts 4 sets 12-15 reps
          Walking lunges 4 sets 12-15 reps (steps with each leg)
          Calf raises 4 sets 20-25reps

          You need to go very heavy with good form. If you half ass it your going to get nowhere fast. Legs generally respond better to higher rep ranges ie 12-15 in most exercises. With squats heavy is key so reps can be a bit lower here.

          Shoulders

          Barbell seated shoulder press 4 sets 8-10reps
          Power cleans 4 sets 6-8reps
          Side laterals 4 sets 12-15reps
          Barbell shrugs 4 sets 15-20 reps

          This is a good shoulder routine which will hit all 3 heads and incorporates strength as well as explosive power exercises.
