2 Exercises for Lean Sexy Legs....

Hold It

At the end of every set, try to hold a contracted position (like the bottom of a squat) for as long as you can.  This is called an isometric contraction and will help you get stronger through the toughest parts of range of motion.



Sprint for Lean Legs

Sprints are cardio intervals, bringing the heart rate up fast and then letting it come down in between. This boosts metabolism and burns more calories than jogging at a steady rate and is a great way to get leaner legs. Start incorporating sprints into your next cardio workout by moving as fast as you can for 15 seconds (with plenty of recovery in between) up to three times during your session. 

Thank you Shape magazine for keeping me motivated!!
