Top 3 Leg Exercises For Women

Let’s face it, ladies. It all starts with a great set of legs. It’s not as difficult to achieve as you may think. Here are the top 3 leg exercises for women.

#1. The Lunge - Fairly simple. And very effective. Take a big step forward bend your front knee and lean forward into it. Bring your back leg up and take another step. Feel the stretch in your entire leg. Do this while walking or in stationary position. Use hand held weights or ankle weights for a more intense leg workout.

Watch as Jodi Miller demonstrates and explains the Lunge in the video below.

#2. Scissor Lift - Lay on your side with your legs together. Lift your top leg off the other. Kick it forward, then back, and finally back down. Repeat for a complete set then switch sides. Wear ankle weights for a greater burn.

#3. Good old fashioned stairs - We’re not going to lie. There is nothing that firms and tones your legs and back side better than 10 flights of stairs. You can usually find these anywhere and they should be free to use. We recommend running them while holding hand weights for maximum effectiveness.

A sample stair running workout can be seen in the video below.

Remember while these exercises will definitely do their part to shape and tone your legs, every good exercise plan starts with a healthy diet. So don’t cheat your workout by skimping on your nutrition and supplementation. Your leg exercises will be much more productive if you eat right and drink lots of water!

Use these top 3 leg exercises a few times a week and your thighs and calves will be lean, toned, and turning heads wherever you go.
