Victoria’s Secret models truly swear by leg and glute workouts to stay runway-ready.
To give you an inside look, the video below features the exact lower-body exercises they’ve been doing to sculpt, tone, and strengthen before the big show.
So, if you’re looking for inspiration, trust me, after watching, you’ll definitely feel motivated to train like an Angel!
How To Create Your Own Circuit
- To start off, the models focus on lighter weights and higher reps, so aim for more repetitions or use a timer.
- In addition, they often use ankle weights, gliding discs, and resistance bands to boost variety and intensity.
- Next, choose six lower-body exercises from the list below or the workout video above.
- Finally, perform each move for 12–15 reps or 45–60 seconds, keeping rest short to maintain intensity.
Here’s a workout video I filmed doing all the moves from the list below. Hope you love it!
The Victoria’s Secret Leg Workout
Victoria’s Secret Leg Workout: The Best Exercises to Sculpt Your Legs
SQUATS / LUNGES
First up, let’s ignite those legs and glutes with Stepping Lunges (not alternating) from the Victoria’s Secret Leg Workout. Use a light weight for extra burn.
Then, move into Alternating Stepping Lunges (forward or back) to improve strength, stability, and control.
Next, do Lunge Pulses, hold a light weight in front to engage your core and intensify the burn.
After that, add Squat Pulses (don’t go all the way down), use a weight and stay low to feel the burn.
DONKEY KICKS (ankle weights optional)
Modified Donkey Kicks (completely extend leg), extend your leg fully with each rep for the best glute engagement.
Regular Small Donkey Kicks, use small, precise pulses to strengthen and lift your glutes.
Straight Leg Donkey Kicks, extend your leg straight back and squeeze at the top for maximum glute engagement.
Diagonal Straight Leg Dinkey kicks (alternating direction), move your leg diagonally for a dynamic burn that targets your glutes and outer thighs.

2. Side Leg Lifts

Note: if you don’t have ankle weights, you can just do the exercises without them.
3 STEPS TO LEAN LEGS PROGRAM
I should also mention my 3 Steps to Lean Legs Program which is designed to help you get gorgeous lean legs without the bulkiness :)
If you need help with creating a workout plan, or you don’t know where to start with resistance training, or you tend to get bulky when you lift weights, then my program is perfect for you!
It includes a full workout and nutrition program which will help you get a lean and toned body, and get rid of your skinny fat body forever.
And because all of us are different, I have created separate programs for each of the 3 main body types.
Hope you liked this Victoria Secret leg workout and if you have any workout requests, let me know in the comments! You can also follow me on Instagram! I publish new workouts every week :)

This guide is exactly what I needed! I’ve been looking for effective leg workouts to tone up for summer, and the Victoria Secret approach is really inspiring. Can’t wait to try out these exercises! Thanks for sharing!
Hey rachel! Hope you’re doing great. You recommend in this blog some lunges and squat exercises. Wouldn’t they bulk?
Hi lovely,
thanks for reaching out! <3
Depending on your body type, it may cause bulkiness. Keep in mind that most of the VS models are mostly an ectomorph body type (or an ecto-meso combination), meaning that they will actually have difficulties building up muscles and maintaining them.
If you do notice that the lunges and squats are causing bulkiness for you, you can skip those <3
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions! xx

Hi Rachel! I must do the exercises with only 15 reps? Don’t you think that day by day i must increase them?
Hi lovely,
If you feel fit enough and the exercises start being too easy to do, you can increase the number of reps to 20. You can also add ankle weights and resistance bands to make the workouts more challenging. :) xx

Hi Rachael,
I’ve been squatting and deadlifting for awhile now and I’ve noticed my quads getting bigger. How do I slim them down like the models?
Hi lovely,
I recommend doing more cardio like running and power walking and avoiding squats, lunges and heavy weight lifting because that can make your legs bulky.
We would love to help you as much as we can :) So that’s why we have created the Lean Legs Program.
The Program is an 8 week workout and nutrition plan designed to help you get lean and toned without bulking.
It will help you slim down your legs, but will also help you slim and tone your upper body and core too (the workouts are full body).
It also includes a full meal plan, a separate recipe eBook and demonstration videos.
