Hi lovelies,
This is a lean legs workout that will help you tone your thighs without making them bigger. :)
I know that for a lot of women, the leg area can be problematic. Most of us store more fat in our hips and thighs naturally and some of us have gained too much leg muscle from lifting weights or doing squats.
That’s why I love creating workouts that will help you slim and tone your legs without adding bulk!
You can do this workout on its own, or add it at the end of your workout for an extra burn. I did mine straight after cardio :)
Also you don’t need any equipment for this workout which is perfect if you don’t have the time to go to the gym.
Good luck and let me know if you try it! Xx

HOW TO COMPLETE THE WORKOUT
- Complete each exercise for 30-45 seconds and do all exercises on one leg, before moving to the next.
- Complete 2-3 rounds, and rest for 1-2 minutes after each round.
1. STANDING DONKEY KICKS
This one and the next one are great for your legs and for your booty. :)
You can hold onto a chair for support (optional).
2. STANDING LEG LIFTS

4. LYING LEG KICKS
Lying leg kicks are great for hips and thighs but also for your abs.
5. CLAM TAPS
And the last one targets your glutes and inner thighs.
I have lots of other great workouts that will help you tone up your butt and thighs, without increasing the size of your legs. So please have a look at my Blog and Youtube! :)
I should also mention my 3 Steps To Lean Legs Program which is designed to help you get lean and toned legs.
So if you like this style of training that gives you a toned look without making you bulky, my program might be perfect for you :)

Do you think with eating intuitively and combining your moves to not add bulk with walking flat surfaces that I will see results. If I make better food choices? I just would like to be free of calorie counting
Hi lovely,
Yes, hun. Nutrition is a huge factor in your fitness journey so as long as you keep a healthy diet and you exercise consistently, you will definitely achieve great results. :)

Hi! I am a mesomorph and Iโm planning on doing the lean legs program soon, but I was hoping to get more exercise in on top of the program as I am a modern dancer. Are there certain workouts/exercises I should avoid doing on top of the program that might keep my legs and waist from thinning out?
Hey lovely!
These exercises might bulk you up from my experience:
– Heavy weight lifting,
– Overdoing HIIT (I have some HIIT workouts on my blog that wonโt make you bulky, have a look at these Full Body HIIT That Wonโt Add Bulk, HIIT Ab Workout),
– CrossFit (If you are an ectomorph you can most likely do it and any of these exercises, without getting too bulky, but the other body types might not),
– Step machine,
– Hill sprints.
I hope this helps! xx
Love,
Ana
Hi Rachel!
I have a mesomorph body type with bulky thighs and inner thigh fat. My thighs are toned, so my main focus is slimming. Would you still suggest to incorporate resistance training? Also, it’s a bit difficult for me to take long power walks at the moment. Are there any substitute low-intensity cardio workouts I can do at home that’ll have the same benefit?
Thank you so much!
Hi lovely <3
Thank you for reaching out!
Walking is really king so you can temporarily substitute it with, for example, there 2 cardio videos:

But when you get the chance, you should get back to walking at least 5 times a week and here’s why. Also, I would still incorporate body-weight resistance exercises because besides additionally toning your thighs, they will also speed up your metabolism.
I hope this helps! xx

Rachel I just want to take a second to thank you for all of your lovely information and express how happy I am that I finally found something that has been working for me. I have always struggled with my relationship with working out because I feel that I bulk easily… It was a lose-lose battle because I wouldn’t want to run or life (which felt like the only options considered an actual workout- obviously a fallacy) and I would feel terrible if I did not work out. But I have been walking for an hour a day before I eat breakfast and doing pilates sometime during the day whether abs or legs or bum and I have never seen my body respond in this way before! I feel lean and somehow even taller. So, thank you! I have found my perfect online personal trainer with you. Cheers
Aww you are so welcome Amber!! I’m really happy to hear that I have been able to help you change your workouts (and mentality) and you’re getting the results you want. Good for you! Thanks for brightening my day :) xx
