7 YouTube Workouts to Tone Your Legs Every Day This Week
Who’s grabbing her girls and going dancing this weekend? You are — and you’re wearing some short-shorts to show off your freshly toned gams. We’ve covered easy butt-toning exercises and butt-focused workouts plenty of times (because, in case you haven’t heard, butts are a thing), so this roundup focuses on strengthening and shaping up the rest of your lower half: quads, calves, inner thighs and hamstrings. All of these workouts can be done right at home, no equipment or machines necessary. Let’s do this!
1. Skinny Jeans Workout: Jump right into your week of legs with this POPSUGAR Fitness video that puts the focus on your inner and upper thighs. With moves like gate swings, jumping lateral lunges and kickboxing, you’ll get a major cardio workout with this routine too. (via POPSUGAR)
MONDAY
2. How to Get Legs Like a Victoria’s Secret Angel Model: How do Angels get fit? Lots and lots and lots of leg work. You’ll squat it out just like in any great equipment-free leg workout, but this video also takes you through ballet-like balance moves to target your outer thighs (and bonus: strengthen your core).
