Dancer legs seem to be ever popular. The strong, toned legs free of flabby fat and toned to the natural curves of the legs are in demand. Many women think that it’s difficult to get these dancer legs, but that’s not true. It simply involves a few minutes a day devoted to exercise in your own home. There is no need to use exercise machines or visit the health club, unless you want to.

There are many muscles in your leg and each muscle group needs a different type of exercise to be the most effective. For the calf muscles, there are two highly effective leg exercises for women that are very easy to do. First off is the heel lift. Stand with your back to the wall and your feet flat. Lift up your heels(ie stand on your tiptoes) and hold it for several seconds and then go back to feet on the floor. Repeat this several times. The lazy version of this easy exercise is to sit on couch and with your leg out straight, push the heel out(and your toes inward) and hold it for several seconds. Repeat the exercise again, but put your toes outward as far as they can reach and hold it for several seconds.

It’s also important to work the thigh muscles as well and any look at leg exercises for women wouldn’t be complete without a thigh muscle exercise. An easy leg exercise for the thigh muscle starts with sitting on a couch or bed and extending both of your legs out horizontally. Next, tighten your thigh muscles and try to lift your legs and hold it for several seconds. You can feel the tightening throughout your thigh muscles.
