Fit Tip: Quick and Easy Leg Workout

Picture%2016.pngCeleb trainer Jim Ryno, recommends these simple sculpting moves that you can do at home:

Exercise 1: Kitchen squats
While holding on to the lip of a counter, stand with feet shoulder-width apart and dip down into a basic squat. (The cabinets beneath the countertop will prevent knees from moving forward.) Do two sets of 12 to 20 reps.

Exercise 2: Calf raises in the shower
For tones calves, raise both heels together off the shower floor. Repeat for two sets of 12 to 20 reps.

Exercise 3: TV-time thigh toning
While watching TV, put a pillow between the knees and squeeze thighs together. Hold for a beat, then release. Repeat throughout a half-hour show.

GREAT post.
there are so many exercises for legs one can do at home and Id completely forgotten about the calf raises (oops).

swing by the MizFits if you have a second, Jim, and check out my (accidental blairwitch) lunge video from yesterdays Monday Facetime.

It's the perfect compliment to this!
