Leg Toning Exercises
~ Sexy Legs Here We Come! ~
If you want sexy legs, then leg toning exercises are what you need. If you're short on time, don't worry the right leg workout will
get those legs in tip-top shape!
The key to sexy legs is a leg workout that will tighten and tone the whole lower half of your body.
Don't forget to add
leg stretches to your leg workout routine. This will help to reduce tight
muscles while making you're legs leaner and stronger.
When creating your own best leg exercises workout, combining different leg exercises will challenge your muscles resulting in sexy legs.
Why do these Leg Toning Exercises Make Your Legs Sexy, you ask...
Well, you don't want to walk around with frumpy looking legs right? So these exercises will help to shape and show the cuts of your muscles.
Now, if you have more fat than you'd like on your legs or body for that matter, make sure to get your diet in check.
While these exercises will help to shape and tone your legs, your diet has a lot to do with your body fat too.
When your confident, it definitely shows.
When your body's in shape, you'll be more confident and like wise, walk with more confidence which automatically gives off sex appeal.
With sexy, toned legs you won't be ashamed to get in a bathing suit or short shorts. You won't want to hide your legs anymore...you'll
definitely want to show your legs off.
Will These Exercises Make My Legs Look Bulky?
In order to build a lot of muscle you have to pile on the weight, like the body builders do. Basically low reps with high weight will help to
add muscle. If you're looking to get sexy lean legs, then you want aim for higher reps.
If you have really skinny legs and are looking to fill them out, then I would suggest adding a little more extra weight
to your reps to build some muscle.
Keep Your Body Guessing
One of the fastest ways to see results is to keep your body guessing. Don't stick to the same routine for too long or your body will adjust
to it and you won't see any new results.
I've heard that you should change up your routine every 6-8 weeks, but I think that's too long. I would say to really keep your body
guessing, change it up every 3-4 weeks.
Short on Time?
That's ok, we all are. Just don't forget that you're doing this for yourself. When you get your body in shape, you'll feel better about
yourself and you'll have a more positive attitude. You won't be so tired and grumpy.
You're doing this for YOU, so even if it's 5-10 minutes a day, that's ok. Just pick a few exercises and do at least 3 sets of 8-12 reps of each
exercise. Make sure you have proper form. Remember: Quality over Quantity!
If you keep it up, you will see results GUARANTEED! Even more reassuring, once you see that the little 5-10 minutes you're giving yourself
is working you'll want to do more and you'll eventually find time. Exercise will be on your top to-do list.
Leg Toning Exercises:
Squats, Squats, Squats! -
Always at the top of the list as one of the best leg toning exercises to shape and tone your legs and butt.
Lunges, Lunges, Lunges! -
This and the squats are perfect to add to your routine and especially since there are so many different variations you can do to switch it up
a little.
Step Ups - Burn Baby BURN!
- Stand behind a sturdy chair/weight bench or use the 2nd or 3rd step on a stair case depending on your height.
- Take your left foot and put it on the chair or step (make sure your whole foot is planted firmly).
- Pressing through the heel of the left foot, step up letting your right leg follow.
- Step back down with your left foot still on the chair or step (be careful, especially on a stair case since you'll have to step back a
little further than normal).
- Repeat and then switch to your other leg.
Calf Raises -
- Stand on the edge of sturdy step.
- Slowly lower your heels to the ground (this stretches the calf muscle).
- Then slowly raise up onto your tippy toes and hold for a second, then lower back down and continue your reps.
- Make sure to get a full range of motion by going all the way up and all the way down.
Ankle Dorsiflexion -
- Stand, holding onto something sturdy for balance.
- Roll back onto your heels while lifting your toes up off the floor.
- Hold for a few seconds, then return back to the starting position and repeat.
Obviously that's only 5 of the best leg toning exercises to get you started from the butt all the way down to the ankles.
You want to make sure you work all the
muscles of your legs to balance things out. You don't want to only hit your quads, but then neglect your hamstrings.
Same with your calves and ankles. A lot of times these are neglected, especially the ankles. You need your lower leg to be sexy too!
