7 easy tricks to supermodel legs

Legs eleven

Text: Brittany Lane

Ballet: I am a big fan of modified ballet exercises to create perfect legs. Doing simple ballet poses like Pliés and Arabesques are ideal for leg toning. The best way to do it is to repeat each for five to ten minutes and hold.

Diet: Diet has a lot to do with our physique and it’s important to watch what you eat. The old school way of thinking that: “I can eat whatever and burn it at the gym”, does not apply here. Think about quality and look out for unprocessed foods.

Avoid high intensity exercises: Yes, you heard me right. Avoid any type of high intensity training as it can result is bulky male-like legs.

Antioxidants: Add lots of antioxidants to your diet including Vitamin C and spirulina.

Try a cold shower: Surprisingly, a cold shower can do wonders for your body. If you want to have great skin and body always have your shower as cold as possible if not fully cold (if you can handle it).

Walking: Walking is a perfect exercise for your legs. Not only is it super easy and free, but you can do it at anywhere at any time. I recommend you do at least one hour every day.

Salt: Remove all added salt from diet. Fluid retention is mainly caused by salt which is something to try and avoid. Other culprits are also soy sauce, stocks, and sauces in general should try and be avoided all together.
