    Squats, lunges, deadlifts, leg presses, and clean eating. I'm working on toning my legs more too!

    Heavy squats, lunges, deadlifts, barbell hip thrust, cable kickbacks. Focus on compound exercises. Also, eat in a calorie deficit if you are looking to show more definition in them - "tone up".

    You can't "tone". Tone is not a thing. What you are looking for is to lose fat on your legs so more muscle definition is visible. Unfortunately, you can't choose where you body decides to lose fat from. That's called spot reduction, and it doesn't exist. :(

    What you can do is eat at a deficit to lose weight, while doing full body strength exercises (including legs) to minimize muscle loss. Do that consistently, and your legs will start to look firmer eventually.

    Spinning class! Just from experience I hadn't done it before then within about 4 weeks started to see more definition and you just go from there :)
