With these workouts your legs will also look great in a lovely summer dress or skirt.

The exercises that I will list into this article can be performed at your local gym or in the comfort of your own home.

It's no secret, long lean slim legs are desired by any women on this planet. Yet getting them can be stressful and differcult to obtain. Here is a few exercises you can add to your leg workout to get on your way to long lean toned legs.

Plies: This is a great exercise, it means to bend in French (Snazzy) Just as dancers have long, lean muscles, this exercise can help to make the thighs more lean in appearance. Here is how you perform the Plies.

OK to begin with you need to stand with the feet slightly more than shoulder width apart. Now you will need to take a small step out with both feet and turn your feet outward bit like how a duck would.

Make sure that your hands are placed on the hips or also you can use the back of a chair for some support. Now you should lower the body down slowly about 6 inches and raise back up again slowly.

Repeat this movement for 3 sets of 30 repetitions. Moving slowly forces the muscle to work harder and muscles strength will increase faster. Massaging and stretching also increases your muscle strength.

Long distance running:

Well running and walking in general is good for you. If your not a regular runner then you should consider taking it up. Get you headphones and Ipod, get out their for a good old run along the river for a bit. Take a lot of water on board so you keep yourself hydrated. Start of with a 10 minute run and each time you go add on another 5 minutes until you reach 30 minutes. It is recommend you go for runs of at least 5 to 10 miles each time you exercise.

Lets move on to another exercise.

Swimming: Summer is here, well not yet In London but hopefully where you are the weather is brilliant. Swimming is great because it works every single muscle in the body. And the main area it targets is of course your legs. So why not get down to your local pool for some swimming after a long stressful day at work. Or on the weekend drive yourself down to your nearest beach and go for a swim in the ocean to get all that good natural salt into your skin.

Make sure to add these into your leg slimming workout and you should be well on your way to long slim toned legs.
