How To Exercise & Tone Your Legs and Have The Best Lower Body Workout
Ladies, have you ever looked at other women and envied them for having the long, firm legs that you’ve never had, but always wanted? Well, it’s pretty easy to get gorgeous legs, with firm, tight thighs and buttocks that you could bounce a quarter off, but it will take a little bit of work on your part.
You don’t need plastic surgery to firm and tighten your legs, even if you have cellulite. There are all kinds of things you can do to get great thighs, beginning with the right exercises.
Exercises for Trimmer, Tighter Thighs
Many people think that running is the only way to get firm, trim legs. The problem with running is that it builds muscle, which may have the opposite effect of what you want.
Of course, you want to have good muscle tone, but you want to have feminine, sexy legs that will look great in a little black dress, so you probably do not want runner’s legs.
There are all kinds of other terrific exercises that will tone the muscles in your thighs while trimming them at the same time.
Some of the exercises you may want to try that you can do at home (or even in the office if no one is looking) include:
DB (dumbbell) Lunges Barbell Lunges Squats Leg Press Leg Curls Leg Extensions Dead Lift DB Step-Ups Climb Stairs (If you work in an office building, you have a built-in workout center, so avoid the elevator and take the stairs at least once each day)
You may have noticed that some of the above exercises involve using weights, and you probably think that using weights is going to make your thighs huge and bulky.
Of course, you do not want to get right into weight training, but there are exercises that use free weights and some machines that will firm your legs without bulking them up.
There are all kinds of other exercises you can do to get trim, firm thighs. If you are unsure of which exercises are best, visit a health club or see a personal trainer for advice. You will also learn about the exercises you need to keep your entire body in the best shape possible.
One of the best ways to get firm thighs is walking. And, not only is walking great for getting super-sexy legs, it is also a good overall workout that is great for your cardiovascular system.
No matter what exercises you choose, as long as you stick to it and do them regularly, you will soon notice that your thighs are getting noticed – along with the rest of you.

This is such a great post. I’m a personal trainer in CT and own my own training facility, so I already know and use these methods, but a lot of women that I meet daily are so skeptical of using any weights I guess in fear of “bulking up”. I’m glad to see someone else has the knowledge to refute this and make sure both men and women are keeping active and getting fit. Thanks for the great insight and helping me do my job! Feel free to check out our website at http://www.horizonpt.com if you ever need some motivation! Thanks again!
Thanks for all the ideas – I’ve been trying to diversify my routine so this will be a good source to reference. I’m also into taking classes that involve ballet bars because it helps with my flexibility. I usually go to LITA Integrated Fitness for the classes. They are having a promo where you can get 3 classes for $25 which is a sick deal – here’s the link, it’s with BuyWithMe NYC http://bit.ly/dnjmvZ Happy workout!
I couldn’t wear a swim suit for 10 years because I was embarrassed by my cellulite. Currently I just don’t care. So what does that suggest about me?
