Fitness Plan

Fitness Plan

I'm going to give you some tips on how to get sexy legs. If you'd like to improve the looks of your legs, whether you just need to tone them up or trim them down, these tips should be very helpful to you.

1) Walk more. This may sound simplistic to some, but walking is very good exercise for your legs. Try to take a 30-40 minute walk every day.

2) Take the stairs instead of the elevator. The stairs are usually a little bit faster and great exercise for your legs as well as your glutes.

3) Do some squats every day. Squats are one of the best exercises for your lower body and should be part of everyone's fitness plan. I'm not talking about heavy barbell squats, just bodyweight squats. If you don't have any leg injuries, anyone should be able to do them. Try starting at 50 reps (you might be surprised how hard it is to do 50) and work your way up to 100 or more.

4) Toe raises. These are great for toning and building up your calf muscles. Try doing these with your toes on a step so you can get a good stretch. Can you get 50 reps?

5) Sprints. Try running 25 or 50 yard sprints. This is great for fat burning and is great for conditioning your legs. For an extreme workout try uphill sprints!

6) Jump rope. Another great overall exercise especially if your interested in overall weight loss, but this one is great for toning the legs. Try to time yourself and increase your time a little bit each day.

7) This article wouldn't be complete without a tip on diet and nutrition. The best tip I know is to stick to fresh whole foods and avoid eating processed foods. Also avoid eating to many starches such as white bread, rice, and potatoes. If you stick to fresh meat, vegetables, and fruit you're probably on the right track. I try to make it a rule of mine to eat 3 apples a day, it's a nutritious snack and it keeps me from snacking on other things.

I hope you found these tips on how to get sexy legs useful. If you can follow these tips on a daily basis you will be well on your way to your fitness goals!
