Guys want larger, muscle legs, Girls want sexy, toned legs. The good news: Getting your legs to the sexy shape you want is just 4 steps away.
There is nothing sexier than an upper body complimented with great toned legs. There is nothing worse though, than a body with the bottom half out of proportion, either too big, or too small. All the following exercises can be done at home, so no excuses for no time or a lack of a gym membership!
LUNGES
Step 1
Keeping a neutral spine and an upright upper body, take a large step forward, placing both your feet flat on the floor.
Step 2
Bend your back knee, lowering it towards the floor, and at the same time bending your front knee, to allow your upper body to come down (while still remaining erect).
Step 3
Bring your body back up by straightening your legs out.
(In this exercise, make sure your head is moving straight up and down, rather than forwards and backwards, as if you were being pulled up and down by a string, like a puppet.)
1 set = 12 repitions on each leg coming forward.
Perform 3 sets.
DEADLIFTS USING BAR
Step 1
Starting with both feet hip width apart, bend over and grab the bar with palms of your hands facing body and just past shoulder width apart. (while grabbing the bar keep a neutral spine and slightly bend your legs).
Step 2
While maintaining a neutral spine, bring your body back upright to the starting position (body upright and legs straight).
Repeat 4 sets of 15 repetitions.
JUMP SQUATS
Step 1
Start with your legs hip width apart and your body upright.
Step 2
Slowly come down into a squat position by bringing your bottom down towards the floor.
(extending your arms out in front of you will assist you in maintaining a proper spinal position)
Step 3
From the squat position, explode into a jump, getting as high off the ground as possible.
(IMPORTANT: land on the ground with soft/bent knees)
Repeat 10 times.
CALF RAISES
Step 1
Stand on the edge of a raised platform or step, with the balls of your feet on the step and your heels hanging off the step.
Step 2
Lower your heels a few centimeters but keep the balls of your feet on the step.
Step 3
Raise your heels above the step by pushing down through the balls of your feet.
Repeat 15 times.
