So i am a runner yes and that has helped with getting killer legs but.... i would say the other cardio that has help make them smoken hot is...

THE STAIR CLIMBER!!!

so here is what i do and if your up for the challenge try it and see if it kicks your legs and *kitten* as much as it does mine...

20 mins
5 mins on level 8 (2 mins straight climbing 1 min turn to the right, 1 min turn to the left, last minute straight climb)
5 mins on level 9 (2 mins straight climbing 1 min turn to the right, 1 min turn to the left, last minute straight climb)
3 mins on level 11
3 mins on level 12
3 mins on level 13
1 min on level 14

try very very hard to not lean on the machine i can do about 12 mins before i have to lean a bit but never for more than 20 seconds...


give it a try and see how your legs feel and look :)

    I will def try this - thanks for sharing. I will have to work up to levels that high though, otherwise I'll be crumpled by the bottom of the machine.

    I'm totally trying this when I get back to school and have access to a gym again in a few weeks! I loved the stair climber but it kicked my butt, and I'm not even sure what level I was doing - but it probably wasn't even close to these haha.

    but ever since I've been doing jillian micheals dvds my legs are definitely becoming more toned :) ...so maybe I can handle this. maybe.

    like rotate your body to the left then to the right and walk up side ways, kinda like a grape vine on the climb...it works inner and outer thighs totally different feel from just basic walking or in some cases running up the stairs
