MUSCLE MAKEOVER Part 1#8 HOT Moves For Lean Legs

Ok so i have been requested/asked what exercises should be done for the most under trained body part yet the foundation of our bodies...LEGS!!! Yes the L DAY!!!Im not talking about body builders here who religiously spell LEG DAY AS Legendary and never skip working out this body part. This article is for those people who would like to improve their Legs composition Commonly requested as "I want to lose weight on my thighs" "My butt is too fat" "I have fat thighs"....Sounds familiar??? So this article is for all of you who want to put in the effort but don't know where to start and are definitely time crippled.You don't have to be a member of the gym to follow this routine.It could be done in the comfort of your home or in a park.Wear the right shoes and invest in 5-10 pounds weights or ankle weights and follow me as i guide you to this simple yet effective 20 min LEG Routine.May i add that there is nothing like SPOT REDUCTION.To lose weight only on just legs which we refer to as spot reduction is not possible but if you are following a healthy diet,doing a good cardio routine and trying to bring your body fat down then this routine will work wonders.Do not expect result if you are wolfing down hamburgers and are too lazy to move that butt off your ass.Follow this routine 5 times a week for a month and see tremendous change in your leg composition.
