Most women dream of having perfectly toned legs. The good news is that this can easily become a reality. Adding these five effective leg exercises to your workout routine will help you sculpt your legs in no time.

Side Lunges

The side lunge, or lateral lunge, is a great beginner exercise for strengthening your thighs and improving flexibility and balance.

Skater Lunges

This is an awesome cardio exercise that will get your heart rate up and work various muscles such as glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings.

Crab Walks

The crab walk exercise can be intense for some beginners and your leg muscles will probably burn afterward. If not, you can always use a resistance band to make this exercise more intense and effective.

Split Squats

The split squat is a basic leg exercise that targets the glutes and hamstrings. Take a look at the video below to learn how to properly perform this move.

Pistol Squats

Pistol squats are great for building lower body and core strength and will also help you tone your legs and improve balance. They are, however, pretty challenging so take your time to master this powerful move.
