Lower body exercises - Suggestions anyone?

KarensCanDoIt

Any suggestions for lower body exercises that can be done at home without exercise equipment? I'm losing more inches from the waist up. I need to do extra work to reduce the hip, thigh, and calve areas. (if not reduce it, then maybe make it less jiggley)

What works for you?

Pilates has been good for me and I've lost 2 inches from my hips since starting.
I also have a thigh master I use while I'm at the PC.

Squats, lunges, side lunges, etc. Yoga can be good for lower body, too.

Jillian Michaels is really good with working lower body (often while working upper too). I'd start with 30 Day Shred if you've never done anything of hers before, but I really love No More Trouble Zones and am currently doing Extreme Shed and Shred and they both really work legs, hips, butt, etc.

Ditto mathjulz

Squats, lunges, pistols, burpees, jump squats, step ups, skipping, roman chair, there are loads... good luck

squats, lunges, jumping jacks, jump rope, walking, running, step aerobics (if you have something to use as a step)

I would have to say lunges, squats, and leg lifts. You want to make sure you feel it in the booty when you do your lunges.. It should burn that muscle that connects your thigh to your booty muscle. These have done wonders for my thighes and my dierrere!! If you want to make it a little harder, hold to gallons of milk (one in each) while you do it. I do them stationary but you can also move while you do them taking one big step with each lunge. I just go up and down without moving.

squat. Google "squats in crossfit" too find out correct form. I had been doing them wrong my whole life. Lunges, side lunges. Pilates is awwwwwesome!

You can hold a milk jug or bag of flower to add weight.
