Fall season, a.k.a. leggings season (yes, it deserves a season name)...is here. Leggings are incredible to create cozy Fall outfits, but they also show your tush and legs like crazy!
Be sure you're ready to wear leggings and oversized sweaters by incorporating these 5 moves into your workout regimen. Trust me, you won't regret it and will see results fast.
5 Moves to Your Best Legs
Squats
1 Leg Burpees
Kettle Bell Swing
Lunges. Oh how you love and hate them all at the same time. This move is great to engage multiple muscle groups and is used in many weight loss exercise programs. There are also many different lunges you can try to change it up each time. Backward lunge, forward lunge, lunge with back leg on chair, try them all!
Dead lifts get your hamstrings like no other move. Be careful on your form though, it's simple to do it wrong which can lead to massive back pain. Don't arch your back, keep your head up, and chest out. Bar should stay close to your body the whole time. Don't overdo it with the weight.
Squats work multiple muscle groups. Did you know that they burn more calories per rep than almost any other move??
1 Leg Burpees get you good. They are great to keep your heart rate up and work your muscles. Be careful not to lift with your back and use your hamstrings when lifting up. This move always gets you sore in all the right places.
Kettle Bell Swings are such an incredible move that gets your heart pounding and keeps your risk of injury low. The swinging motion is less harmful for your back and has been incorporated into many rehabilitation programs, they can actually decrease lower back pain.
I stand by these 5 moves wholeheartedly. They quickly shape and tone your tush, thighs, quads, hamstrings, and calves. They can easily be combined into a quick leg workout. Do each move for 1 min, 4 rounds...simple 20 minute leg workout complete.
Definitely have to do these to tone my legs!
