Strong and Toned Lower Body: Legs, Thighs and Butt
Hi Everyone!
Tonight's workout is all about the lower half! Yesterday I did the Bikini Ready Tummy workout, so I got in a lot of core work. Today's workout utilizes all of the large muscles in the lower half of your body. These muscles have great calorie burning potential because they are some of the largest muscles in your body.
As you build strength it is also important to create balance in the body. You don't want to exclusively workout on your "trouble spots." You want to create strength everywhere, which will in turn create balance, shape, and boost your metabolism.
I hope you enjoy tonight's workout. It's tough but fun! I followed this workout with a 30 minute run on the treadmill.
