how can you tone up your leg muscles realy fast?

Answer 1

You can do a variety of exercises - such as:

- seated leg extensions (for your quads)
- leg lifts (for your calves)
- hamstring curls
- squats (I find these to be the most effective)
- leg presses (kinda have the same effect as squats)
- machines - stair climbers, elliptical

As for whether or not your legs will tone up quickly or not, it depends on your body type / metabolism. Since you've said you're toning yourself up I would imagine you are in decent shape, so you'll fall under one of the two categories:

Ectomorph - usually build muscle slower, you'll gain a little bit of muscle mass but it won't come too quickly. If you don't have too much muscle in your body right now, you'll probably fall into this category.

Mesomorph - these types generally gain muscle a lot quicker, so your legs will probably tone up quicker as a result. Generally, for women, if you're more curvy like an hourglass you'll fall into this category.

Hope this helps you a little.

Running/walking and bicycling work the legs in different ways. To tone u and shape youe legs bicycle alot but keep standing. Even sitting and standing while riding a bike works different muscles. You must also make sure the seat is at the right height for you. To do this, sit on the bike and take one of the pedals and put it at the bottom of its arc. Now, put that leg into the pedal with the axis bar of the pedal under the ball of your foot. If the seat is at proper height, your knee should be only very slightly bent, i.e. your leg should be almost straight. You want to give your leg muscles a full range of motion. I alwayscringe when I see people riding down the road and there knees come almost up to their chest on the up swing cause they have the seat too low. It's like doing a squat lift, going all the way down, but only coming up so your end up in a sitting position. The proper way is to stand up completely, right, well you want to do the same thing when riding a bicycle.

O.K, first you will need access to a gym,
after you have access to a gym you will need to start
training your legs like this,
start your first exercise with leg extensions super set that
with leg curls or lying leg curls and hack squats,
do that for 3 to 4 sets of 7 to 10 reps,
then do 4 to 6 sets of calf raises with heavy weight
for 15 to 20 reps each set,
after all that, run on a tred mill for 5 to 10 minutes at a
fast passe, half or full speed,
do that once a week, or once every 3 days,
your legs should look great in less then a month!

Take the stairs! Seriously, if you work in a multi-story building, use the stairs, if you have stairs at home, go up & down 10-15 minutes after a good long walk or bike ride of 30 minutes or so. Riding a bike is great for your legs. I grew up in a hilly area (Cincinnati, OH) and rode my bike everywhere as a teen. My legs were incredibly muscular! I wish I had kept that routine up.

Answer 6

i used to ride my bike so much and my legs were in great shape. Then I stopped for about 5 yrs. When I started again, I realized how out of shape my legs were. It is definitely the bike riding that helps to strengthen your leg muscles, and how quickly will depend on how much you ride and how often. Me, I'd ride my bike every day, that made the most difference, even if it was just to the store, or work or school.

Answer 7

Get a wheelchair and where ever you go you can lift your legs up while you push your chair. This way you can even exercise in the grocery store line. Beer is good for muscle tone.

Answer 8

Nothing beats a good hip & thigh machine at a health club, but failing that:
Start someplace with a lot of room to swing your legs. Use your arm to keep yourself steady on one side. Keeping your back straight and good posture, raise your leg straight up to the front till it is level with the ground. Slowly lower. Do this 12 times. Without twisting or otherwise getting out of position, raise your leg out to the side and lower slowly, 12 times. You will not be a ble to raise you leg to the back very much, but do that 12 times slowly. The temptation to twist or sway your back to help will be great - don't. Keep perfect posture at all times. Repeat on the other side.

Find a step. Place the front of your feet on the step with your heels free and over the sides. Feet should be straight and hip width or less apart. Hold a rail or wall. Slowly raise up on your toes and lower as much as your heels can lower. Do this 12 times. Angle your toes in and your heels out. Repeat 12 times. Angle your toes out and your heels in. Repeat again.

Answer 9

Squats and running...think lots of squats and lunges; both stationary and walking. With running think ladders; short sprints that require lots of quick stops and turns. Both of these things will require you to develop stability in your leg muscles very quickly.

Answer 10

Lots of Running, Running Hills, Lunges, and lots of stretching. Squats can hurt your knees and back, and neck, Leg Extensions are better.
