Leg Toning Exercises Without Weights

There are two very effective and simple adjustments a person can make that do not involve weights. One of the first things a person can do to reveal their beautiful toned legs to the world is to strip off the outer layers of thigh fat covering them up. This can be done by a simple combination of cardio and nutrition.

No starvation diets necessary.

One excellent form of cardio that will design a sexy leg is cycling. To burn fat and sculpt a beautiful pair of pins there is nothing like adding a cycling routine to your day. Some people even take their mini pedal exercisers to work, on the bus, or use at home in front of the TV to get in those added calorie burning miles. Recently Carrie Underwood revealed her secret to exercising on her long bus rides while touring.

Leg Toning Exercises at Home

Leg Toning no Equipment

Shaping up at home is a simple as sitting down… then standing up! Often times people dismiss exercising at home because they believe you need a bunch of exercise equipment. The truth is, a person doesn’t need any equipment at all to tone up, lose weight, and look lean and sexy.

If you are just starting out, overweight, have knee, ankle, or hip problems, its a good idea to start slow. Injury is a big motivation killer.

Walking lunges, squats, power jumps, calf lifts, side leg lift, and rear leg extensions are all you need to do.

Leg Toning with Equipment

Adding equipment to your leg workout can help to develop more lean muscle and speed up the fat loss efforts. A simple set of dumbbells to add weight to your squats, dead lifts, and walking routines will do this.

Donning a weighted vest will also increase the intensity of any exercise. A completely “hands free” form of resistance training. Put it on while doing the housework, walking to the store, or during your favourite workouts.

Exercise and Tone while Sitting

Add some leg resistance and cardio activity to your TV time at the end of the work day. The best pedal exerciser while sitting in your favourite chair would have to be the Medical Pedaller. It also has many available attachments so you can use it to work upper body as well.
