Love Your Legs Workout

Strong leg muscles
Alex Palombo
Sculpt strong, toned legs and thighs with these exercises that work the muscle fibers you're probably overlooking.

Get Strong, Sexy Legs

If you think lower-body strength exercises will bulk you up, you don't know squats, says physiologist Brad Schoenfeld, author of Sculpting Her Body Perfect. "Not only have EMG studies shown that basics like squats, lunges, and calf raises work the leg muscles best, but women don't tend to build big muscles thanks to a lack of testosterone," says Schoenfeld, who created the Love Your Legs workout with that science in mind. But the real magic is in his mix. "This workout is greater than the sum of its parts, because each move is hitting different fibers in the legs that you are probably overlooking," Schoenfeld says. Do the routine three times a week on nonconsecutive days, resting for around 30 seconds between sets. (All you'll need is a chair, a 5-pound dumbbell, and a towel.)

A few months ago I started reading Brilliant Yoga: The Complete Guide to Upgrading Your Body and Life by Sarah Sanders. It helped me discover the amazing benefits of yoga: increased flexibility, stress relief, toned muscles, improved sense of health and well being and so many more. It also helped me lose weight!

I'm always looking to keep my legs sculpted--working a desk job makes me even more conscious of it! I like to finish up with a protein snack, too. It helps my legs feel less sore the next day! If you think it might help you too, try to find them at your health food store, or at an online one like nutritionfix.com!

I started this workout last night and I can't move! Hope that's a good sign! I danced for years and my legs are bigger (not necessarily fatter) than I'd like, so I'm hoping for success!
