Get Your Best Legs

First know that you can’t reduce fat in just one place. Your body takes a little bit of fat from everywhere, more or less in some places due to your genetics. Doing a ton of leg exercises isn’t necessarily going to make all that fat disappear, at least not by itself. We do these exercises to shape and tone the muscles so your legs have a great shape. If you aren’t eating healthy and doing cardio those sexy muscles are going to be hidden no matter how many squats you do. Gaining muscle helps, it increases the metabolism thus burning more calories, but you have to work the rest of your body and have a clean diet too.

Try to do one video or pick five exercises and do 3 sets of 8-12 reps (or until you feel the burn) about 3-4 days a week. Do cardio 3-5 days a week too, it can be running, biking, swimming, Zumba, kickboxing, whatever gets your heart pounding and sweat dripping. You can combine strength workouts and cardio into the same day if you want. Make sure to eat protein after your workouts, it helps build muscle!

These are, in my opinion, the best thigh and leg exercises and videos. I’ve included links to instructions for most of the exercises and a variety that you can do at home or at the gym. If you workout at home try to get some 8-10 lbs dumbbells, or get a backpack/duffel bag and fill it with heavy books to challenge yourself.

If you have access to a gym try these machines & equipment:

the leg/hamstring curl machine

the leg press machine

the leg abductor/adductor machines

squats with a barbell and/or dumbbells

barbell deadlifts

lunges with dumbbells

bulgarian split squat

If you don’t have access to a gym try these exercises at home:

wall squats

jump squats

bridge/hip lifts (try them with your feet on a chair/bed)

hip lifts on a balance ball (you’ll get an almost instant burn!)

leg lifts

inner thigh lifts

the fire hydrant

sumo squats

suicides

These are my favorite leg videos:

Inner Thigh Insanity

Slimmer Inner Thighs

POP Kicks Kickboxing

How to Gain Weight… From Muscle & Not Fat

Muscle on women is sexy as hell, if you don’t believe me look here and here… and you’re probably admiring the women in the photo up there! Read on, this is long, but worth it.
These same principles apply for anyone that wants to gain muscle not just skinny/small people.

How do I put on muscle weight?
First and foremost, you need to do strength training. If you want to gain weight, and don’t want it to be fat, it needs to be muscle, and muscle growth is stimulated by training those muscles. Arm muscle looks fantastic, training glutes gives you an ass like no other, back muscles look sexy in backless dresses, and core will give you a rock-solid foundation.
Strength training is most effective with weights which is easy at a gym, but not so much at home. If you’re at home, grab an empty gallon of milk and fill it with water, which will weigh about 8lbs. Then, try these:

Assorted exercises on my blog, here and my personal workout is here

Blogilates divided by area that can be done at home

Similarly, Tone It Up and P90X can be done at home

Bodybuilding.com is where I go to learn about exercises at the gym and proper form

Secondly, you need to eat more - especially protein. Muscles aren’t made of magic, they’re made of surplus calories from protein, carbs, and fat. Typically 1-1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight is a good guideline.Try with a 500 calorie surplus and experiment increasing (or decreasing a little) as needed.

If you don’t believe me that you won’t get fat instead, I don’t know how to convince you! I can, however show you this girl who gained 10 lbs of muscle while weight training and eating 2500 calories a day.

To reach this calorie goal, consider drinking a lot of milk, almond milk, or coconut milk instead of water. Liquid doesn’t fill you up as much, and provides you healthy carbs, fats, and protein. Protein shakes and smoothies are amazing too.

Snack on calorie dense foods. Eat nuts such as almonds, cashews, and peanuts throughout the day. Also try eating two tablespoons of peanut butter a few hours after every meal (it won’t affect your hunger).

Again, I’m not a professional anything, this is just what I’ve learned from experience and the internets. If you have any questions, ask me here: http://sweatsalty.tumblr.com

sweatsalty:

1) Stair Run

You don’t even need the gym for this one! Running up and down stairs is not only good for the gluts but it can also help you to burn calories quick. For my weight, running up and down stairs burns about 150 calories for every 10min. Click hereto calculate how many calories you can burn in a stair run.

2) Sprint Intervals

We all know running tends to burn a lot of calories. But if you throw in sprinting intervals, that’s where the real burn begins. Science shows that sprinting can burn up to 200 calories per 2.5 minutes. So next time you only have 20 minutes to get in your run, think about how much calories you could burn if you did sprint intervals.

3) Jump Rope

Go a little old school on your workout and grab a jump rope. Jump roping at a brisk pace can burn 120 calories+ per 10 min. Click here to calculate how much you could burn in a short period of time.

4) Boxing

Boxing is an intense full body workout. Got a little anger stored up? Punch out your feelings while burning those calories off. Boxing burns around 225 calories for 30 min (based on 130 lbs weight).

5) Swimming

Swimming is already a great cardio workout that is easy on your joints. Rev up the speed & throw in sprinting sets and you got a quick way to burn a lot of calories. Vigorous swimming can burn up to 340 calories per 30 min. So next time you’re trying to cram in a workout, getting wet might not be a bad idea.

The Complete Insanity Collection: Meal Guide, Calendar, and Fourteen Workout Videos by Shaun T

Mon, 13 May 2013 21:09:00 -0700

Insanity is a workout/weight-loss program. It’s 60 days of cardio madness, that will lead you to love the instructor, as well as hate him, all at the same time.

It’s led by fitness provocateur, Shaun T, and he takes you through 14 different exercises designed to burn fat like mad. He does mostly Interval Training, that is, a blast of cardio, followed by a rest, followed by an even bigger blast.

The calendar will show you what exercises to do on which days. In the beginning, you’ll do a fit test in which you’ll see how many of each exercise you can do. Have a pen and paper ready to write down your results! Then, you’ll delve into the exercises according to the calendar. Every two weeks, you’ll take the fit test again, hopefully improving your numbers each time.

Insanity is one of the most intense workout programs you will ever do, but it’s worth it. You may thinking it’s “just too hard!” in the beginning, but from personal experience, I can honestly say you get stronger. Give it a try!
