10 exercises to help you get toned legs.

One of the hardest things to get rid of is cellulite around the thighs. 

However, what is easier to achieve is having stronger and more toned legs

It’s not easy to burn fat at specific places but it is easier to target certain muscles to make your legs stronger and more toned.

On that note, let’s start with the first exercise

#1 Side Lunge to Crossover Tap

Target your upper legs from every angle with this thigh-slimming exercise designed to hit your inner thighs, quads, hamstrings, and glutes.

  • Stand with your feet together, arms down by your sides.
  • Take a wide step to the side with your left foot (your right leg should stay extended), and bend your left knee, pushing your hips behind you.
  • Keep your back flat, eyes looking straight ahead, and reach both arms on either side of your left foot, touching the ground with your fingertips.
  • Push off the left leg and shift your weight back into the right foot, reaching both arms up to the ceiling, while you bring your left leg across the front of your body and tap your left toes on the floor, just past your right leg. That's one rep.

Do 15 reps on each leg.

#2 Runner’s Lunge to Balance

This deep lunge and balance combo will help slim thighs and improve your balance.

  • Stand with your feet together.
  • Take a big step forward with your right leg.
  • Reaching towards your right foot with both hands and hinging slightly forward from your hips, bend both knees into a low lunge (be sure to keep your right knee lined up over your right ankle at the bottom of your lunge. Don't let your knee extend past your toes). Your left knee should be pointed straight down to the floor (like a sprinter about to start running).
  • Next, press your weight into your right leg and push down through your right foot as you stand up out of the lunge, lifting your left leg off the floor and straight up behind your hip. Your upper body should maintain the hinged forward position as you stand, with your back straight, abs tight.
  • Balance for one count and then lower back down into the lunge. If it's too hard to stand on one leg, try tapping your left foot lightly on the floor behind you as you stand up out of the lunge.

Do 15 reps on each leg.

#3 Scissor Power Switch

This thigh-slimming exercise helps burn more calories while you work the power (fast-twitch) muscle fibers in your legs—a killer combo for trimmer thighs.

  • Stand with your right foot forward, left leg back and lower into a runner's lunge, reaching your left arm towards your right foot and extending your right arm behind you.
  • Push off the floor with both feet, jumping straight up, scissoring legs midair, and land back into a runner's lunge with your left leg forward, right arm reaching across. If an injury prevents you from jumping, try quickly alternating your legs with a rear tap instead of the jump.

Do 15 reps per side.

#4 Diagonal Lunge

This multi-directional lunge helps build coordination and control while also toning and tightening your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and inner thighs.

  • Stand with feet together, both arms reaching overhead, palms facing forward.
  • Take a wide step with your right foot out to the corner of the room (at a 45-degree diagonal angle), bending your right knee and reaching arms and upper body forward over your right thigh (your back leg should be straight, with your heel lifted off the floor).
  • Try to touch the floor, on either side of your right foot, lightly with your fingertips.
  • Push off of the right foot to return to the starting position.

Do 15 reps per side.

#5 Plié Slides

This ballet-inspired thigh-slimming exercise targets both the inner and outer legs.

  • Stand with your hands on your hips, heels pressed together and toes rotated out to the sides (about 45 degrees).
  • Step your left foot out (wider than hip-width apart), into a deep "plié": bend both knees out over your toes, lowering your body straight down to the floor, keeping your back straight and abs in tight.
  • Next, as you rise up out of the plié, slide your left heel back in towards your right, straightening your legs and returning to start position.

Do 15 reps per side.

#6 Lateral Plyo Squats

This quick plyometric (plyo) interval will get your heart pumping and tone your hips, thighs, and glutes.

  • Stand with your feet together, arms down by your sides.
  • Step your right foot out to the side (about hip-width apart) and bend your knees, holding both arms in front of the body, sitting back into a squat: press your hips behind you (as if reaching back for a chair) and keep your chest lifted and eyes forward.
  • Quickly push off the floor with both feet, jumping up and to the left. Land with your left foot stepping out to the side and back into your squat position.
  • Alternative: Instead of jumping, simply stay down in your squat position and step your feet quickly from side to side to raise your heart rate without the impact.)

Do 15 reps.

#7 Kneeling Roundhouse Kicks

This kickboxing-inspired thigh-slimming exercise is a terrific way to hit your outer hips too. 

  • Start kneeling on all fours (on carpet or a mat) with your arms extended under your shoulders and knees bent under your hips.
  • Lift your left knee off the floor, bending your left heel in closer to your body.
  • Next, lift your left knee (keeping it bent) straight out to the side of your body, trying to bring it up to hip height.
  • Extend your leg straight out, pointing your toe, shin and shoelaces facing forward.
  • Bend knee back in and lower it down, almost to the floor (but not touching).

Do 15 reps per side.

#8 Hip Extension and Cross

Condition the backs of your thighs, glutes, and get a bonus core workout with this targeted isolation exercise.

  • Start kneeling and bend both elbows down to the floor below your shoulders, hands clasped.
  • Extend your left leg up and behind your body, pointing your toes as the leg extends.
  • Bend your left knee and draw your left leg in, lightly tapping the back of your right knee with your left kneecap.
  • Extend left leg back out.

Do 15 reps per side.

    #9 Plank to Stand Up

    This tough thigh-slimming exercise improves flexibility in your hamstrings and hips while also toning your core, legs, and back.

    • Start at the top of a push-up position, or a high plank.
    • Keeping your abs drawn in tight, step your right foot in between your hands, bending your knee so that your right thigh is parallel to the floor, keeping your back leg extended.
    • Push your weight into your right foot as you slowly stand up out of the lunge, leaning slightly forward with your upper body, and tap your left foot on the floor behind you at the top.
    • Bend your right knee and lunge back down to the floor, placing hands flat on either side of your right foot. Step right leg back to plank position and then repeat with the left leg.

    Do 15 reps per side.

    #10 Prone Hamstring Curl

    This thigh-slimming exercise shapes up the hamstrings and lifts that hard-to-reach spot where the glutes and hamstrings meet. 

    • Lie face down on the floor, bend your elbows and stack your hands under your forehead.
    • Extend both legs straight out behind you, pointing your toes and squeezing your heels together.
    • Press your shoulders down and lift both legs slightly off the floor.
    • Keeping your feet touching, bend your knees (knees can open out to the sides slightly as they bend) and curl both heels in towards your body.
    • Without letting your knees touch the ground, slowly extend both legs back out straight.

    Do 15 reps.
