Leg Exercises That Work
Here are a few of our top leg exercises for getting toned, beautiful legs.
1. Pistol Squats
Stand holding your arms straight out in front of your body leveled with your shoulders, parallel to the floor. Raise your right leg off the floor, and hold. Move your hips back and lower your body as far as you can. Wait, then push your body back to the starting position.
2. Dumbbell Split Jump
Hold a pair of dumbbells at arm’s length next to your sides, palms facing one another. Stand in a staggered stance, your left foot in front of your right. From a standing position, lower your body into a split squat. Quickly switch directions and jump with enough force to propel both feet off the floor. Repeat, alternating back and forth with each repetition.
3. Farmer’s Walk on Toes
Grab a pair of heavy dumbbells and hold them at your sides at arm’s length. Raise your heels and walk forward (or in a circle) for 60 seconds.
4. Reverse Dumbbell Box Lunge with Forward Reach
Stand on a 6-inch box or step, holding a pair of light dumbbells at your sides. Step backward into a lunge with your right leg as you lean forward at your hips and reach toward your feet. Reverse the movement to return to the starting position.
5. Marching Hip Raise with Ball
Lie faceup on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on a Swiss Ball. Raise your hips so your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Lift one knee to your chest, lower back to the start, and lift your other knee to your chest. Continue to alternate back and forth.
6. Goblet Squat
Hold a dumbbell vertically next to your chest, with both hands cupping the dumbbell head. (Imagine that it’s a heavy goblet.) Brace your abs, and lower your body as far as you can by pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Pause, then push yourself back to the starting position.
