Get The Legs That You Want Quickly—Just Stretch, Step & Massage!

Many women feel that their legs are a hopeless case, even hiding them in the summer when the weather is hot. There are 7 easy exercises and spa tips that are proven to work:

Do Your Own Lifting

Take out those garbage bags and bring in those heavy shopping bags but use them as weights, too, okay? Who cares that the people you live with will laugh a little? Promise yourself that anytime you are carrying anything heavy, you will do three sets of lunges with those items before putting them in their proper places.

Always Take The Stairs

Cut out using the elevator in any building less than six stories. If you walk up five stories or more a few times a day for two weeks, it will do REMARKABLE work on your calves and even lift your butt.

Do A Series Of Five Old-School Exercises

Your leg tone up routine should only take you ten minutes per day, either in the morning or before bed. Do three sets of 15 of the following five basics (remember to do both sides on all exercises except the last one)—leg lifts while lying on the floor on your side, classic lunges, classic ballet pliés done with a stable chair replacing the ballet bar, lateral lunge side kicks and the simplest of all exercises, raising yourself up on your tiptoes and lowering yourself again. If you want to throw in a bonus exercise, the Downward Dog Split is a yoga move that trims outer thighs. This is just a variation on the standard downward dog pose where instead of keeping your toes on the ground, you make the effort to raise your each leg as high as possible and hold for ten seconds and then lower. Repeat 15 times on each side.
