At Home Toned Legs Workout
Toned Legs
Who doesn’t want toned legs? I know I DO!! We all know how much I LOVE leg day! I love leg day because I want a nice firm, round booty (goals!) and I also want lean, toned legs! Leg day is also great because the leg muscles are the biggest in the body meaning activating them will burn the most calories! Hooray for calorie burn!
Well I wanted to change up this leg day workout because I was looking another way to get toned legs! And these complex moves are perfect for a leg burn and that booty burn!! This workout will work ALL the muscles in your quads, hamstrings, and glutes! Wooo!! Ok, so I am totally excited for this. It took me a while to perfect this workout. I mean leg day HAS to be good, right??
Legs AND balance!!
So I LOVE with how this turned out. I did this and my legs burned for DAYS! Yes!! I love a good after burn. You will too! So I set this workout up a bit different than normal. It will be less reps but more sets. If you want to add weights, you definitely can! Or you can add resistance bands for added resistance! I tried it with both (separately) and they both add a great burn!!
You will do 7 reps of each exercise (yes, only 7) but you will be doing 4 sets of the exercises. This workout will take you 20 minutes! Quick and powerful! And you may need some help sitting afterward… hahaha! If you have more time for your workout, you can definitely add more sets OR add a great lower ab finisher! Don’t forget to warm up and cool down those legs, they will need it!!
