Help me get my legs in shape!

[Jacobsmom]

I really need to work on my legs!! What do you suggest for exercises? Lunges, squats, extensions?? It is almost short season and I need a good leg program!! I will be combining this with clean eating to get the fat off!

 

[Scotty the Body]

Well, here's what I did thismorning for my legs -
Squats 3 sets 4-6 reps
leg press 2 sets 4-6 reps
SLDL (straight leg dead lift) 2 sets 4-6 reps

Seated calf raise 3 sets 6-8 reps
Standing calf raise 2 sets 6-8 reps

Done deal, I was near max on all lifts.

 

[Jacobsmom]

Thank you!! Something definitely needs to be done about mine!! Blech!!

Do you think it is possible to lean them out/tone them by June??

 

[Scotty the Body]

Sure, but you cannot spot reduce so you need to get your diet in order to drop your body fat down, cardio can help as well.

Your DIET is the KEY

Diet to get rid of the fat but a good workout in terms of exercises is...welll...here is what I da:

Barbell Squats
Hack Squats
Lunges
Extensions

SLDL
Leg Curls

Standing Calf Raise
Seated Calf Raise

It's up to you if you want to train the entire leg in one workout. It's also up to you to decide the sets/reps you wish to do...this varies incredibly among different people.

These exercise work...but be INTENSE or your legs will never improve.

Sorry it was an honest mistake

No problem Meancuts! You probably just focused on the Jacobs part and missed the "mom" part!!

Thats okay.. I was a tomboy as a child.. doesn't hurt my feelings!

If you really want to tone up your legs, take up Karate. I started just 3 months ago and my legs have gone from flabby to the most defined part of my body. I'm quite impressed. Plus its a fun full body workout
