Leg Exercise No. 6: Single Leg Romanian Deadlift Into Single Squat This last move will give the quads a serious burn and might induce some tipping over for the not-so-stable. If you tend to struggle with balance, feel free to use the back of a chair for stability.

Step 1: Stand with your feet and legs together. Extend your right leg straight back with your toes touching the floor for balance.

Step 2: With a slight bend in your left leg, slowly bend forward at the hips (pushing hips back as far as possible), and hold for three seconds. Your toes should still be lightly touching the floor.

Step 3: Push up through your heel to come back up to the start position.

Step 4: Repeat this ten times on each leg.

Step 5: From there, go straight into single leg squats. Start with your right leg back and go into a Romanian deadlift, and hold.

Step 6: Start to bend both your knees, and send your hips even farther back until your right knee is gently touching the floor. This should put you into a reverse lunge. Hold for three seconds, and then come back up to the starting position. Repeat ten times on each leg.

And there you have it. The six best leg exercises for getting toned legs (and a serious a burn). Pizza anyone?

I've got myself doing 50 squats and 50 lunges a day. Feels great.

These work! I remember many of these moves from the hour of warm-up exercises I had before ballet class at a college. I was in amazing shape and my legs never looked better!
