If yes, then training them is important.

The affect that fullbody movements have on hormone levels is utterly insignificant, and weight training doesn't burn many calories.
Strong legs are an integral part of the process. Working you legs with squats, stiff-legged deads, etc will give you a nice "full" looking frame that most pros have. I know this from experience because at one point I injured my knee and had to cut out my leg work out for almost a year. I was big but I did not have that over all thickness that is developed thanks to squats and stiff-legged deads. Plus you dont want to be that guy at the beach with tiny legs are a large upper body.
