Easy and Quick Leg Exercises for Hot Summer Legs #1


I was sitting watching The Walking Dead, when I realized, it's April!  Spring is basically here, which means swimsuit season! So I decided I want to work on my legs and abs for my bikini body! I'll go over some leg exercises to try that will give you a nice, defined looked! Depending upon your body type and diet, you should see some results within 2-3 weeks! :)

(Optional)Materials Needed:      

Yoga Mat
Dumbbells
Sturdy Chair




Try This:

  1. Start with lunges. I do these when I get off of work while I watch TV. Stand in place and do 10 lunges (5 per leg). Make sure you don't bend your knee over your toes.
  2. With no break in between, do in-place squats, either with or without dumbbells.
  3. Then do 10 backward lunges (5 per leg). If you don't have very good balance, use a table or chair to help you balance.
  4. If you have stairs in your home, run up and down them 3 times without stopping. If you don't have stairs, simply take a chair and do 50 step-ups. Make sure to drive your knee up towards the ceiling.
  5. Take a break if you need to! Next are mountain climbers. Begin in the push-up position and bring your knee up towards your chest. (See picture below). I usually perform the mountain climbers in a running motion to get my cardio up, but if you cannot do this yet, by all means, take your time.
  6. Repeat as necessary. Do not take a break between 1, 2, or 3. If you need rest, do so after step 3 and 4!
I usually mix it up and do side lunges as well in between Step 1 and 2! If you need more of a challenge, totally add the side lunges in there! Let me know how this works out for you!
