Someone shared this on facebook—the friends I’m doing the Boulder tri series with—and they were wicked impressed by this. Who wouldn’t be? Can we just take a second to appreciate the incredible shape this man is in. HOLY CRAP. He makes it look so easy, but dang, I want to be able to do some of this stuff.
Watch and prepare to have your mouth drop open in about ten seconds.

Get Your Best Legs
First know that you can’t reduce fat in just one place. Your body takes a little bit of fat from everywhere, more or less in some places due to your genetics. Doing a ton of leg exercises isn’t necessarily going to make all that fat disappear, at least not by itself. We do these exercises to shape and tone the muscles so your legs have a great shape. If you aren’t eating healthy and doing cardio those sexy muscles are going to be hidden no matter how many squats you do. Gaining muscle helps, it increases the metabolism thus burning more calories, but you have to work the rest of your body and have a clean diet too.
Try to do one video or pick five exercises and do 3 sets of 8-12 reps (or until you feel the burn) about 3-4 days a week. Do cardio 3-5 days a week too, it can be running, biking, swimming, Zumba, kickboxing, whatever gets your heart pounding and sweat dripping. You can combine strength workouts and cardio into the same day if you want. Make sure to eat protein after your workouts, it helps build muscle!
These are, in my opinion, the best thigh and leg exercises and videos. I’ve included links to instructions for most of the exercises and a variety that you can do at home or at the gym. If you workout at home try to get some 8-10 lbs dumbbells, or get a backpack/duffel bag and fill it with heavy books to challenge yourself.
If you have access to a gym try these machines & equipment:
- the leg/hamstring curl machine
- the leg press machine
- the leg abductor/adductor machines
- squats with a barbell and/or dumbbells
- barbell deadlifts
- lunges with dumbbells
- bulgarian split squat
If you don’t have access to a gym try these exercises at home:
- wall squats
- jump squats
- bridge/hip lifts (try them with your feet on a chair/bed)
- hip lifts on a balance ball (you’ll get an almost instant burn!)
- leg lifts
- inner thigh lifts
- the fire hydrant
- sumo squats
- suicides
These are my favorite leg videos:
wow this is me… I keep popping up in other peoples’ posts, this is so weird!
for the record, I don’t really ever work out my legs… I do a massive amount of walking in day to day life though

I want you to click play and do this inner thigh challenge with me right now. If you want toned legs for summer and also love Clarity by Zedd…this workout is kinda for you. And by kinda, I mean really.

Scale got me frustrated so I had to look at the good old “camera roll” for some reassurance. Don’t let that number define you 😏 #progress

This is probably a good time to mention that I can hold a lit match in my mouth. I guess a better tip would be, “practice until you can do it drunkenly.”
