11 Oct Workout for Strong, Lean, and Toned Legs – video
At-Home Bodyweight Workout for Strong, Lean, and Toned LEGS!
I’ve got FOUR exercises for you to help focus on strong, lean, and toned legs! It’s a quick bodyweight workout that will help to define those legs (and glutes!) Are you ready?! Do it with me! 🙂
Strong, Lean, Toned Legs Workout Move #1: Straight Leg Up & Downs
Start on your knees and forearms. Straighten one of your legs and kick it up and back behind you. Repeat up and down movement on that leg while really focusing on your glute and your hamstring as you’re lifting up. Remain in control of the entire movement. Do 30 seconds on one side, and then switch.
Strong, Lean, Toned Legs Workout Move #2:Â Donkey Kicks
Without taking a break after workout move #1, dive straight into donkey kicks. With a bent knee and flat foot, raise your leg out and up again. You want to make sure your foot is parallel to the ceiling. Imagine you are using your heel to push the ceiling up. It’s a small and controlled movement, really focusing on those glutes and those hamstrings. Do this for 30 seconds on each side.
Strong, Lean, Toned Legs Workout Move #3: Four Point Lunge
Now stand up, shake it out, and get ready for workout move #3. You are going to be doing four point lunges — front, side, back, and across. You will lead with one foot at a time for all four. Step the right foot out to the front, and lunge. Step your right foot out to the side, and lunge. Step the right foot back, and lunge. Cross the right foot back and behind the left leg, and lunge. Stay one one side for 30 seconds, then switch and repeat on your left side for 30 seconds. You will feel this on your base leg!
Strong, Lean, Toned Legs Workout Move #4: Toe Plie Squats
Standing with feet hip-width apart, toes pointed outward and standing on your tiptoes, take it down for squats. It’s just like a traditional plie squat, except you are staying on your toes for the entire movement. Repeat the down and up squat movement for 30 seconds. You will really feel this in your inner thighs and calves!
