10 MINUTE WORKOUT FOR SEXY SUMMER LEGS

How long do you sit every day? If he’s like me a lot! From working on the computer and eating to driving and relaxing, we sit a lot! There’s no way to get a good leg workout unless we get off our butts and make it happen.

In the old days, people were on their feet and walking most of the day so they didn’t have to worry about exercising… it was going to happen to them if they wanted to survive. Imagine having to go out to milk the cow, feed the animals, wash and hang clothes, etc. That is what we have been doing for thousands of years until very recently.

And with all our convenience, we have become lazy. Yes. I said it. But not you. Not anymore! Let’s get going.

10 MINUTE WORKOUT FOR SEXY SUMMER LEGS

This is what it will be like to do this training. It’s only 10 minutes, so you have to push yourself. I recommend using a free interval timer app on your phone so you don’t have to keep looking down to reset the timer. Here is the one I use on my iPhone.. Just select “intervals”, then the + button, round timer, enter 10 rounds and press start when ready. You can even enter 5-10 second rests between sets in the app.

We’re going to do each workout below for 50 seconds each and take a 10 second break in between. That’s all. Super simple. But you have to press since we are taking these little breaks!

I recommend doing this workout 2-3 times a week. Alright, let’s work on those sexy summer legs!

*Tip: You can also do mini-workouts throughout the day using these exercises. Or combine them with other 10-minute workouts to tone your entire body.

1. QUICK JUMPING

Plays: Abs, glutes, hip flexors, calves, hamstrings, quads, and shoulders

As: Start with your knees bent, feet shoulder-width apart, and hands on the floor just in front of your feet. Kick both feet back until you are in a plank position. Then jump your feet towards your hands. Repeat at a moderate to fast pace for 50 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

Easier version: Kick back one foot at a time until you are in a plank position. Lift one leg at a time to start over.

2. HIGH KNEES

Plays: Hips, calves, quads, hamstrings, and glutes

As: Stand tall, with your feet hip-width apart. Quickly lift your right knee and find your left elbow. Bring your right leg to the ground and repeat the movement on the left side. Alternate knees and stay on the balls of your feet throughout the exercise. Repeat at a moderate to fast pace for 50 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

3. BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUATS (Both sides 25 sec)

Plays: Quadriceps, hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, back

As: Find a bench, step, chair, etc., that you can rest your foot on, keeping it at knee height. Stand with your back to the bench with your right leg resting on the bench behind you. Squat down with your left leg standing up until your right knee almost touches the ground. Push back with your left front foot to return to starting position. Repeat for 25 seconds.

Switch sides once you are done and follow the steps for 25 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

*Tip: If you’re using an interval timer like the one I mentioned above, you’ll need to keep an eye on your timer for this one, as we’re shifting a bit early.

4. LATERAL STIMULATIONS

Plays: Inner and outer thigh, hip flexors, glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings

As: Start by standing at the hips, with your hands clasped at the center of your chest. Take a step to the right and shift your weight to your right leg. Squat down to a 90 degree angle at the right knee. Keep your back as straight as possible while trying to get your butt down as much as possible. Push off with your right leg and bring it back to the starting position. Repeat the movement to the left. Repeat for 50 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

5. SUMO SQUATS WITH DUMBBELLS

Plays: Inner thigh, glutes, quads, hamstrings, hip flexors, calves

As: Stand with your feet apart, toes pointed out, holding a dumbbell (or two) down in front of you. Bend your knees and lower your hips until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Stand back up, straighten your legs and squeeze your glutes at the top. Repeat for 50 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

6. SIDE PLANK LEG RAISES (Both sides 50 seconds)

Plays: Shoulders, waist, abs, back, outer thighs, buttocks

As: Start in a modified right side plank position. Your right lower leg should be bent, your right elbow under your shoulder, and your hips lifted. Keep your upper left leg straight. Raise and lower your upper leg for 50 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

Switch sides once you are done and follow the steps for 50 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

7. STRAIGHT LEG DEADLIFT (Both sides 30 sec)

Plays: Lower back, hamstrings, glutes

As: Hold a dumbbell in each hand in front of your upper thighs, arms straight. Stand with your feet together. Lift your right foot off the ground, then lower the dumbbells to the ground as you lift your raised leg back. Keep your back straight and your supporting knee slightly bent. Hold the position for approximately 1-2 seconds and return to the starting position. Repeat for 25 seconds.

Switch sides once you are done and follow the steps for 25 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

*Tip: If you’re using an interval timer like the one I mentioned above, you’ll need to watch your timer for this one, as we’re shifting a bit early.

8. DUMBBELL CHOPS (Both sides 30 sec)

Plays: Hamstrings, obliques, quadriceps, calves

As: Grab the dumbbell with both hands. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Begin by lifting the dumbbell to your right side. Then rotate your body to bring the dumbbell down and toward your left hip, while also bringing your left knee across your body. Lower your leg back down and also bring the dumbbell up to the right. Repeat for 25 seconds.

Switch sides once you are done and follow the steps for 25 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

*Tip: If you’re using an interval timer like the one I mentioned above, you’ll need to keep an eye on your timer for this one, as we’re shifting a bit early.

9. CALF RAISE ON ACCOUNTS

Plays: Calves, glutes, inner thighs, hamstrings, quads, hip flexors

As: Begin in the sumo squat, with your feet wide apart and toes turned out, and your thighs parallel to the floor. Lift your heels off the ground and squeeze your calves. Lower your back down. Repeat for 50 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.
