Great compilation. I’m especially loving the sumo squats and leg lifts. The leg lifts take me back to my ballet dancing days at the barre. Just stand towards the back of a chair and use it to help you balance with the leg lifts.

I can almost feel the burn. My legs are just.. not that nice. Not my best body part for sure. They could use a little sun and a lot of strength!

I am definitely going to add some of them to my exercise schedule. I have been practicing Yoga for quite sometime and was looking for some good exercises for legs as well thus this post is indeed very useful for me.
Thanks.
