Leg Exercises

Today, I am working out my legs. Here are some leg exercises you can try.

1. Lunges: I did 50 lunges from the front door to the end of the kitchen. This will work great if you have a long hallway in your house.

2. Wall Sit Exercise: This exercise will work your quads, hamstrings and glutes. Here is a You Tube video to show you how it is done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDjKeOCgisw

3. Leg Lifts: Three sets of 10 reps for each. Lay on each side, on your back, and on your stomach.

4. Squats: Three sets of 10 reps.

5. Glute Kickback: Three sets of 10 reps. These will help lift the bum. Click on the You Tube Video to see how they are done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45YVKSQN88E

6. Pli’e Squat: With your feet twice shoulder length apart and your toes turned outward. Squat while counting to ten. Hold for two seconds. Then, rise while counting to 10. Try a set of 10 reps.

7. Lateral Squat: If you aren’t tired yet, try the lateral squat. You will love them. Here is a video to show you how it is done. http://www.kewego.com/video/iLyROoafYeph.html

Let me know what leg exercises you do.
