4 Secrets for the Best Legs of Your Life

When a woman looks her best, she feels her best. Putting the best foot forward is always ideal when it comes to appearance. When a woman breaks down the different parts of her body she'd like to improve, the legs are often at the top of the list. Whether a woman wants her legs to be long and lean or short and muscular, each woman has an ideal look she desires for her legs. Consider these four tips to get the best legs of your life!




1. Fitness 
Cardiovascular activity, weight training and stretching all work together well for the legs. A great activity to try is jumping rope. Jumping rope is great for getting the heart rate up, burning calories and working those legs directly. It is important to melt away the fat so that when it is time to do weight training, the muscle definition will shine through. Lift heavy weights and get on machines like the leg press and the squat machine. These machines will help define, tone and build the muscles in the legs and glutes for beautiful definition.

2. Exfoliation & Moisture 
While taking a shower will get the skin clean, exfoliation will slough off dead skin cells and make the skin glow. Using a sugar or salt scrub with olive oil, mix the two together and rub the mixture on the legs while they're still dry. After rubbing the mixture thoroughly, wash it off with warm water. The legs will be soft to the touch. Then, pat the skin with a towel and leave it damp. Rub in an emollient body butter or natural oil like coconut oil. This will moisturize the skin and keep it protected and glowing.

3. Proper Hair Removal 
In some cultures, leg hair is considered unsightly. However, it can be a little annoying to routinely pull out the razor to shave or go to the salon for a waxing. Consider laser hair removal because it eliminates the hair at the root so it won't grow back. For this procedure, look for companies like The Sheen Vein Institute that use FDA-approved equipment.

4. Nutrition 
What goes in must come out. Whatever a woman eats and drinks will show up on her skin. In this case, be sure to eat plenty of healthy fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. Drink lots of water because the skin thrives when it is moisturized from the inside.

There's nothing like wearing a great pair of heels to show off a lovely pair of legs. When a woman puts this four secrets into action, people will stop in their tracks when she walks by!

    Try leg rolls. Lie on your right side and place your left arm on the floor in front of you for support and balance. With your left leg, raise it at hip level. Pretend your leg is in a barrel and with your toes, lead the rest of your leg to trace the inside of the barrel. Do 60 circles and then switch and do 60 more.

    Cycling. Lots and lots of cycling. You won't bulk up unless you do hard out sprint training, but cycling tones the legs like crazy.
