Leg Up

Rate:

Hit every angle with these workouts that promise slim, shapely legs.

Squats and lunges
They hurt so good! Whether you’re doing jump squats, walking lunges or the Sumo variety, you’ll end up with an enviable, Pippa-esque derrière.

Spin or cycle
Riding a bike with resistance strengthens your whole leg. As you push the pedal down, you’re firing your glutes and quads; as you pull the pedal up, you’re carving your hamstrings and calves. Add in some sprints to burn extra calories.

Barre workout
You don’t need to don a tutu to get dancer appeal. Rising onto the balls of your feet and rehearsing countless pliés will have you ready to slip into your hot pants—fast.

Yoga
The practice that keeps us Zen is also one that tones and tightens, from top to bottom. Holding poses like warrior II and chair, among others, means a long, lean look.

Running
Hit the road—or trail—to let your muscles shine through. Running tones, of course, but it also burns stubborn fat.
