Want to improve your legs? Here are my top, favorite leg exercises:

  • Squats
  • Lunges
  • Stiff-Leg Deadlifts
  • Leg Presses
  • Bench Step Ups 
  • Curls & Extensions

All of these should be done WITH weight (unless you have some kind of injury or health condition that prevents you from using them). Remember girls, we “squat” multiple times a day, bend over to pick things up, walk up stairs and generally “use” our legs all day long. They don’t tone from that… they need a stimulus to change. If you don’t give your body a darn good reason to change, it won’t, simple as that… with that said, use dumbbells and barbells for these exercises! Make sure to always use proper form and engage your core, while breathing properly. A good rep range for these exercises is 8-12, although if you’re looking to build strength, even less reps are necessary. If you can go beyond 15 reps, the weight is too light.
