How to get Legs like a Dancer - Exercises for Long Lean Legs

This lower body workout is a combination of Pilates moves and bodyweight exercises to help you get long lean legs like a dancer. This is a compilation of the best thigh slimming exercises that you can do at home with no equipment.

These moves actually consist of building muscle within the legs. Many women shy away from this because they don’t want to “bulk up” but it’s virtually impossible unless they are going way out of the way to intentionally build size (i.e. loading up with supplements, or doing the exercises with very heavy weights).

If you do these on a regular basis, you will notice a change in your body shape. In addition, if you eat right and maintain a healthy regime of cardio training, you will start to get lean, athletic legs.


How to do this workout
Start with at least 15 minutes of cardio to help prevent strains and injuries. Do each exercise for 15 repetitions. Do the entire lower body routine three times through, three times a week in order to see results.


Lateral Jumps

Pilates Kneeling Side Leg Raise

Sumo Squat

Pilates Kneeling Rear Leg Raise

Jumping Squats

Lunge with Rear Leg Raise

Ice Skaters


Another way to get leaner thighs like a dancer is to dance! Dance is fantastic for toning and it burns a lot of calories. The plus side is that if you find a way to do it that you find enjoyable, you wont feel as though you are working out at all, which makes it easier to do for extended periods of time and easier to stick to a regular schedule of doing it.

Put on some comfortable clothes, draw the shades, find some music that you enjoy and just start dancing. Dancing around the house like a fool can burn between 300 and 400 calories an hour; more than you would burn if you went on a walk for the same amount of time. Not only will you burn calories, you will also relieve stress (likely from laughing at yourself).

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
