A: Generally speaking,
for women, the legs can be one of the more difficult
areas to tone. But don’t despair it is completely
within your grasp to have the legs you desire. Begin by
changing up your cardio routine. Add in the elliptical
trainer at a high intensity at a running pace as if you
were on a treadmill. Keep the pace consistent trying to
avoid letting yourself slow down. If you aren't already,
you need to incorporate weights into your workout. Exercises
that will work wonders include the squat, leg press,
leg extension and hamstring curl. Set your weights so
that you can complete anywhere from 15 to 20 repetitions
per exercise. Once you've completed these exercises run
flights of stairs. Then repeat the complete series of
exercises three to 5 times. Your legs will scream but
they'll become what you want.
