mumtoonegirl

My cruise is soon and I am trying to tone as much as possible. What is your fave exercise for toning legs. I do strength training. Recently added in the 30 day shred as well.

Any tips?

I don't know what the exercise is called but you are on hands & knees and extend one leg out and do various moves with your extended leg like circles and lifts and such. Maybe someone else knows the name of this?

squats and lunges. I walk around the house doing lunges.

I find Pop Pilates videos are amazing for the lower body. Check out the videos on you youtube, they are seriously so good!

squats, lunges, wall sits

Squats, split squats, butterfly squats, wide stance squats, close stance squats, single leg squats (this is really only safe with a good spot or a squat rack with a safety mechanism). I hate lunges with an undying passion (I think it's related to my multiple ankle surgeries) and split squats are the closest I get. But, lunges are really good for you as well.

Tae Bo, or Gloria Kamils Body Basic Weight training video that one spends like 40 min almost on legs and they burn by the end of it. Or Bicycling

Squats, dead lifts, hip thrusts, lunges, step ups. Enjoy your booty

All of the above. Also, I've heard Jillian Michaels' Killer Buns & Thighs is pretty awesome. I'm going to try it, but haven't actually gotten a chance yet.

What is "tone"? Squats, dead lifts, and straight leg dead lifts are exercises that target those muscles.

Squats, lunges (front, back, side), and jump squats!

Wide stance deep squats, weight on the heels. Just found out I can do these without hurting my trashed knees. The next morning every muscle in my legs and butt were sore! But no pain in the knees. Yay!

I'd rather do something than do exercises, so I'm learning renaissance period rapier fencing and with spring maybe finally here, I'm riding my horse again.
