Tune in to the Grammy Awards last night? You already know that legs were using a major moment. From the red carpet to the performance stage, the limbs of countless in our favorite celebs, including Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood, Taraji P. Henson, Heidi Klum, and (all of) Beyonce, were displayed in micro minis, gorgeous gowns with?thigh-high splits, and barely-there booty shorts. And let’s not pretend: We were for all of it.
In honor of the striking stems, we’ve pulled together some of our toughest leg toners to obtain a leg up as well. Although it won’t be easy, these exercises?will certainly work in helping to get?those gams in showoff shape.
You leaner, stronger?leg plan starts now.
Start with feet inside a wide stance; toes pointed forward.?Lunge towards the?right, lowering?as far down as possible, after which lift and?flex the left foot. Return left foot to ground,?pushing in it to increase back up start.?Repeat movement around the left side.?
Lie faceup?with knees bent, feet flat?on the floor, and toes lifted; arms ought to be at sides with fingers facing toes. Lift hips until?back forms a straight line from knees to shoulders. Hold for 1 second, after which back to begin. Repeat 15 times. (To see how it’s done, click the link.)
Start with feet together. Step backward with left foot, lowering down into a lunge. Keeping the right knee over the right ankle, ?reach arms up. Pushing off with both feet, jump upright.?Land back to a lunge, however this time using the right foot back. This is 1 rep; do 25. (Check the move?out here.)
