If you can force yourself to work you can force yourself to the gym. You get rewarded for both.

u got it all wrong... its low reps that get them big... do more weight, less reps to get them big (bulk).... and high reps low weight to get them toned (cut)

Leg building

Not sure where you got the idea to up your reps. For mass, push enough weight to exhaust at 8-12 reps and hit the same muscle group hard with the best exercise type first ( in this case, squats ) followed by supplementals ( leg press, hack squats, calf lifts ) ... leaving shaping for last ( leg extensions, curls ). If you do it right, you'll be too sore to walk much on day two afterward. After leg day, rest a solid two days. Rest is vital. Do leg day once a week, but you can do calf lifts at somewhat higher reps twice a week since it's a different kind of tissue.

See this site's articles for great advice on leg workouts.
