How to Get Skinny Legs

To thin down your thighs and sculpt your legs you should perform toning exercises using light weights and high repetitions twice a week. Do 15 to 20 reps of each exercise and then repeat once with a 30 second rest between sets. Do the exercises in this specific order; however, you can skip to the next exercise if equipment isn't available, but then come back when the equipment is free.

Instructions

1. Perform lunges while holding barbells to target quadriceps, then inner and outer thighs with side lunges. Finish with rear lunges and squats to work hamstrings.

2. Target the quadriceps with lying then seated leg curls on a weight machine.

3. Move to cables and do one-leg kickbacks for hamstrings then work the inner and outer thighs.

4. Return to the weight equipment and again do inner then outer thighs while seated.

5. Transition to calves doing seated calf raise. Sit with legs about shoulder width apart and feet flat on the floor. Lift the heels to contract the calf muscles and hold for 5 to 10 seconds. Then lower the heels back to the floor.

6. Complete your calf workout doing barbell calf raises with both legs and dumbbell calf raises with one leg at a time . Point your toes in for one set and out for the other set to keep a symmetrical shape to the calf muscle.
