Many people are after a set of six pack abs.
But many are also on the hunt for toned legs and glutes.
Here are some hard hitting, intense, and proven ways to firm up, tone, and strengthen these areas for you.
If you want to maximize your strength and the overall appearance of your lower body, then these are some key exercises that will help you on the way.
They are all backed by training results, and research.
So these are the exercises you will be focusing on.
By doing these exercises you will be sure to get the most from your efforts.
I know that for myself, when it's time to train legs, I want to get in and out of the gym as fast as possible.
1: The full squat, is an exercise most women will avoid.
Instead, they will shorten the movement.
This will prevent them from getting all they can from the lift.
This is only a good choice if you have preexisting knee pain, or an injury.
The last few inches at the bottom of the squat are going to incorporate the glutes and the hamstrings more than any other part of the exercise.
2: Deadlifts incorporate a great deal of the muscles in your legs.
The first part of the movement will incorporate a lot of help from the glutes and the hamstrings.
If your aim is to tone your glutes and firm your hamstrings then put a small block under your heels.
This will cause the exercise to use them even more.
3: One legged squats are another very good exercise to bring up your glutes and get the tone in your legs that you are really looking for.
This one is pretty tough, so don't expect to be using much weight.
You can do this one with either dumbbells or a barbell.
I prefer to use dumbbells.
I feel I have more control over the exercise with them.
4: Find some stairs and go running up them.
Running up hill will get all of the muscles in your legs involved.
Your legs will have to push your body up the hill or stairs giving you a really good burn and a good cardio workout too.
It will get your heart rate up more than any gym exercise will.
5: Stiff leg deadlifts will completely zero in on your glutes and hamstrings.
You will know this as soon as you start the exercise.
There is an extreme pull to your hamstrings and glutes as soon as the exercise begins.
For this very reason you need to be careful not to use too much weight during this lift.
If you take precautions this exercise is totally safe and effective.
You most likely don't want to do all of these exercises in one session.
Make sure to try them all, they will have you ready for summer in no time.
