It’s summer and everyone is bearing their skin. So here are 4 tips for better legs this summer!
1 GOOD START “Make sure you warm up before doing leg exercises,” Adela says. “For instance, you can walk briskly on the treadmill for 5—10 minutes. I also like stretching between each set of the workout
.”
2 ON THE RUN “If you want nice legs, you have to train them like you mean it,” Adela says. “But you also have to have a good eating plan and do cardio.” Heidi agrees: “Especially for shorter girls like myself, five extra pounds can look like 10 or 15 onstage, so it’s important to incorporate fat-burning
cardio.”
3 VARIETY SHOW
“When doing leg extensions, I use different foot positions—toes pointed in or out—and I squeeze at the top to isolate my quads,” Heidi explains.
4 EXTRA POINTS “If I do cardio on a treadmill, I’ll jump off every three, five or 10 minutes, for instance, and do 30 seconds of pop squats or jump lunges,” Heidi says. Adela, meanwhile, may add calf work to her plié squats. “Push up onto the balls of your feet at the top of the move,” she suggests.
