sweatsalty: halfhissize: Get Your Best Legs First know that you can’t reduce fat in just one place. Your body takes a little bit of fat from everywhere, more or less in some places due to your genetics. Doing a ton of leg exercises isn’t necessarily going to make all that fat disappear, at least not by itself. We do these exercises to shape and tone the muscles so your legs have a great shape. If you aren’t eating healthy and doing cardio those sexy muscles are going to be hidden no matter how many squats you do. Gaining muscle helps, it increases the metabolism thus burning more calories, but you have to work the rest of your body and have a clean diet too. Try to do one video or pick five exercises and do 3 sets of 8-12 reps (or until you feel the burn) about 3-4 days a week. Do cardio 3-5 days a week too, it can be running, biking, swimming, Zumba, kickboxing, whatever gets your heart pounding and sweat dripping. You can combine strength workouts and cardio into the same day if you want. Make sure to eat protein after your workouts, it helps build muscle! These are, in my opinion, the best thigh and leg exercises and videos. I’ve included links to instructions for most of the exercises and a variety that you can do at home or at the gym. If you workout at home try to get some 8-10 lbs dumbbells, or get a backpack/duffel bag and fill it with heavy books to challenge yourself. If you have access to a gym try these machines & equipment: the leg/hamstring curl machine the leg press machine the leg abductor/adductor machines squats with a barbell and/or dumbbells barbell deadlifts  lunges with dumbbells bulgarian split squat If you don’t have access to a gym try these exercises at home: wall squats jump squats bridge/hip lifts (try them with your feet on a chair/bed) hip lifts on a balance ball (you’ll get an almost instant burn!) leg lifts inner thigh lifts the fire hydrant sumo squats suicides These are my favorite leg videos: Inner Thigh Insanity Slimmer Inner Thighs Legs & Thighs Workout Itty Bitty Bikini Long Lean Legs Workout POP Kicks Kickboxing Bikini Beach Bum Tone It Up Legs & Core wow this is me… I keep popping up in other peoples’ posts, this is so weird! for the record, I don’t really ever work out my legs… I do a massive amount of walking in day to day life though
blogilates: Move of the Day: Bulgarian Split Squat The split squat is used to strengthen the hips, quadriceps, glutes and ankles. Hold a pair of dumbbells at each side of your torso. Place your left foot on an exercise bench or chair and stagger the right leg in front of the torso. With your hands on your waist, bend your right knee so that your thigh is parallel to the ground. Do not let the knee go past your toes. Keep the weight in your right heel, and keep your torso lifted during the descent and ascent of this exercise. Repeat this exercise on the other leg. Do 20 reps on each side.
fitnessloveaffair: sarcasmis0calories: th3skinny: muffintop-less: Deadlifts are one of the best compound exercises in existence. Talk about a core workout! Compound exercises utilize multiple muscle groups which makes them not only great muscle-builders, but great fat burning exercises as well!! For those of you who were asking - this is what a deadlift looks like. I tend to take a little breather in between each one though.  I’m so terribly afraid to try these. I keep picturing my back just…. breaking in half? Begin with a light weight. Try 15-20 lbs or two 8-10 lb dumbbells. Engage your abs to help support your back. It’s not as scary as it looks.
