The Look Good in Your Leggings Workout

Fall is right around the corner and that means it’s time to make the switch from bikinis and short shorts to leggings and skinny jeans. We know how much we love wearing leggings just about everywhere (even if it’s not while working out!) I think we can all agree that leggings are a wardrobe essential, especially in the fall. At LoveSurf, we want to make sure you feel confident and look good from every angel when you slip into your favorite pair.

How it works: Try adding these 4 moves to your routine up to four days per week. Do sets back to back with no rest between moves. Repeat the full circuit 3 times total, resting 60-90 seconds between rounds.
What you’ll need: Bench or step | 8-10 lb. weights | Water!

Scroll through to see some of our must-do moves to lift, shape, and define your lower half.

Step Ups. This is one of the best butt exercises you can do to work on strength, power, and balance all at the same time. It targets the main large muscles of the legs, particularly the glutes and hamstrings, and really helps in giving you a toned, lifted booty. Stand upright with one foot on a bench or step, holding weights (8-10lbs.) by your sides with your arms straight. Push off your top foot and step up with both feet. Step down onto one foot, keeping the other foot on the bench and repeat. 10-12 reps on each leg.

Weighted Lunges. Start standing straight, chest high, holding weights (8-10lbs.) by your sides with your arms straight. Step forward with your left leg about 2 feet or so from right foot, while keeping the torso upright and maintaining balance. Keep knee over toes to avoid stress on knees. Using mainly the heel of your foot, push up and go back to the starting position. 12 reps on each leg.

Squats. Stand with feet shoulder width apart. Start by doing a regular squat, keeping your knees over your toes. 15 reps.

Burpees. Start in a squat position with your hands slightly in front of you. Kick both of your feet back into a full push-up position. Swiftly jump legs back to original squat position, and jump straight up reaching both arms above head. 10 reps (Repeat without stopping, but remember to always listen to your body. If you need a break, no biggie. Take a sip of water, a couple breaths, and jump back into your workout!)

Make sure to end your workout by stretching and drinking water! And don’t forget to shop your favorite LoveSurf Leggings!
