Perfect your pins
Here our top tips and tricks to tone your legs – you’ll see results in just two weeks.
Take the stairs Walk up the stairs whenever you can – at work or at the train station. You’ll soon notice the difference!
Daily squats These will tone your thighs and bum. Stand your feet shoulder-width apart, arms by your side, and slowly bend at the knee, keeping your back straight and taking your arms out in front of you as you go lower. Once your thighs are parallel to the ground, come back up to the starting position, dropping your arms back to your sides. Start with three sets of ten and build up as your legs get stronger.
Start skipping Aim to spend 10-15 minutes a day using a skipping rope on the spot. Mix up your skips by either landing on both feet together or two skips on the left then the right foot. But make sure you’re wearing trainers and a sports bra!
Fake it There’s a reason the celebs love their fake tan, it makes skin look smoother and slimmer. Lose inches instantly by smoothing some on.
