Taking Care of your Legs does not have to be hard!
|
Cardiovascular exercise is not only a great
way to build endurance, but also
an excellent tool for toning and defining our
infamous lower half. Jogging
and/or sprint intervals are excellent for
leaning out the quadriceps and
hamstrings. The Step Mill, my weapon of
choice, is extremely beneficial for
lifting the glute muscles, and the
Stairmaster builds shapely calves. The
best thing to do is find which machine or
exercise you most enjoy and
challenge yourself on that piece of
equipment. Don't be afraid to vary your
workouts by using more than one machine, it's
important to keep things
interesting. Thirty to forty-five minutes of
cardiovascular exercise three
to five times a week coupled with the
following recommended floor exercises
will create noticeable results in a short
amount of time.
In addition to cardiovascular exercise, it is
important to build and shape
your muscles through resistance training
exercise three to four times per
week. Below are a few exercises to help you
achieve your goal.
