You are not going to get tight and sexy legs ‘to die for’ doing nothing sitting on a couch with a dish antenna.

You have to kick butt and add compound exercise training methods to your routine. However, exercising for women is such a broad topic. Where should we begin? Well, lets start with dispelling two of the most common myths.

Weights

First of all, Lifting weights will not make look like a body builder!! Women simply don’t have the hormonal ability to become muscular no matter what sort of weight you lift.

Spot Reduction

Second, there is no such thing as spot reduction. Even though you really, really want to toned thighs and a round butt, doing zillian lunges and squats is not going to make them thinner faster. Fat comes off from all over your body. Your hips, butt and thighs will often be the last places to thin out. So be patient, watch what you eat, and it will come out eventually.

What to do?

Believe it or not, only muscle can change the shape of your body.

Stationary Lunge

Keeping your torso upright, plant one foot out in front, the heel of your back foot lifted. Think about this lunge as a one legged squat. Put most of your  weight on the front heel. Lower your body as far as you can without hitting your back knee to the floor. Now push up through your front heel to return to the start position, and repeat the movement for 12 repetitions before switching legs. Do at least two sets.

Dumbbell Squat

Few exercises shape the entire musculature of the thighs and gluttes as effectively as this one. With dumbbells at your shoulders and feet shoulder width apart, keeping your head up and a slight arch in your back, you slowly bend at the knees as you push your rear out until your thighs are parallel. Then move up again. Do at least two sets of 10 – 12 repetitions each.
