Getting nice legs!!!

Dayz Posts: 21 Joined: 2003/06/09	2003/07/16, 11:59 AM Ok, my question is: what kind of workout for my legs that you suggest. I don't want to get them bigger, just more cut. Should I do 3x15 reps of every muscles in the legs!! and how do I get my "bum" really tight? I'm in the "fashion industry", so if they get bigger, I won't be able to wear what I want to wear! Thanks everybody dayz

Then I would do the following routine Squat-3x15-20 (stretch hamstrings and quads after every set) Lunges with dumbells 2x15-20 stretch step ups 2x15-20 stretch Then I would do 20-30 minutes of cardio followed by another 10min of stretching the leg muscles. Your repitions should be slow and full movements (contraction should take 1-2 seconds and the negatives should take 3-5 seconds.) -------------- If hard work and persistence were the keys to success, most people would opt to pick the lock.~Dick

Plie squats (feet wide and toes pointed away from you) are great for the glutes. I do them holding a 45# db with both hands, in front of me and keeping my back as straight as I can and squeeze as you come up. I had trouble doing lunges due to major cramping so I started doing these instead. I can really feel it. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

I know it's no fun, but that's how you'll get the muscles cut. Good luck! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

The "real" diet is going to come a little bit later, I'm trying to gain some mass in the upper body! Et oui c'est vrai que les victoires eternelles sont celles du coeur! Il faut y mettre la volonte...
