Exercises to get Killer Legs



A toned body is the new HOT opposed to a non-muscular body these days. I mean you work out to be healthy and in shape; with that usually comes a toned, muscular body which is so much hotter than a plain twig body.  When you wear short shorts or skinny jeans there is nothing better than seeing the muscle definition that appears on your legs...to us that means a job well done on your workouts!! We have four exercises that will help you achieve killer legs! Add these to your workouts or do them on their own and with a healthy eating plan you should see results in no time!


1. Walking lunges
Instead of doing lunges standing in place. Walk across the room doing lunges, make sure to go slow and watch your form to avoid injury. 

2. Split Squats
These are killer, but SO worth it! On a bench or chair, place one leg behind you with the other leg forward almost in a lunge position. Slowly squat down and push up quick to really use your muscles


3. Step ups
On a block, chair, bench or whatever...step up with one foot and then return to the floor. Make sure you switch feet/legs or if not make sure you are doing the same amount of reps for both legs


4. Side lunges
Standing straight forward, feet shoulder  width apart;  take a wide lunging step to the side. It almost seems like you are doing a wide leg squat but your leg is straight instead of bent. Really squeeze your booty when you return to the starting position.
