Exercise for Beautiful Legs

Most of us have tried all kinds of exercises to get those sexy legs. We have attempted the best of leg exercises to look stunning in those hot pants and in that little black dress. Althea Shah, fitness expert at Gold's Gym, gives a list of leg workouts that will give you those toned sculpted legs. She says, "One of the fastest ways to lose unwanted weight and fat is to gain metabolism-raising muscle on your legs. They'll help you burn more calories, you'll build muscles, and you'll end up with strong and nicely sculpted legs." 


Squats - Squats are a great exercise for your legs. They help you tone up your thighs as well as your hips (15-25 times, 2-3 sets). 


Wide squats - This exercise concentrates on your inner thigh muscles. (15-25 times, 2-3 sets). 


Lunges - During the move, both knees will need to be at 90 degree angles at the bottom of the movement. So adjust accordingly. Hold weights in each hand for added intensity. (15-25 lunges on each side, 2-3 sets). 


Walking Lunges - It works your quadriceps, your hamstrings, and the thighs. For starters, it is best to do it without weights. Once you get the hang of it, it can be also done with weights for better results. 


Leg Extensions - The leg extension is a good isolated exercise when the purpose is to target the quadriceps muscles. You will need to adjust the pad so that it falls on top of your lower leg (just above your feet). Also, make sure that your legs form a 90-degree angle between the lower and upper leg. 


Leg Press - The seated leg press exercise builds the front thigh. 


Hamstring Curl - This exercise helps tone up your hamstrings. Repeat 10 times for each set, doing three sets continuously every day. 


Calf Raises - Calf raises are the perfect exercise to tone up your calf muscles. You need something that is a bit raised, such as some blocks, stairs, or you can even do them right on the floor. (15-25 times, 2-3 sets). 


PS: Remember to warm up before exercise, and cool down after it by incorporating basic stretches of the muscles used. Drink lots of water before and after to avoid cramping during these exercises and to keep your body free of toxins. For best results, do these exercises three to four times per week. In addition to consistent cardio and a healthy diet, you will see the results in just a few weeks.
