Summer time means shorter hem lines and (you know I’m going to say it)… flip-flops! Yay!
In order to have your legs looking their very best this summer, I’ve got an easy solution for you.
Try adding a few sets of lunges or squats into your daily routine. You can do a set during a commercial break or when you are standing in line at the grocery store. (I’m kidding, if you do lunges in line at the grocery store people might think you’ve gone a little bit crazy!!!)
But seriously you can knock out a few sets of leg exercises in no time at all and your summer shorts will thank you! I’ve done a full post on how to do lunges correctly and I also have a 31-day lunge challenge that you can attack whenever you get the urge.
OR…if you are more of a fan of squats – I’ve got you covered here too. Squats are a better option for beginners and you can modify squats easily by taking a wider stance and moving your toes out diagonally. See my full post on how to do squats and you’ll be all set up for how to do a perfect squat!
So how many squats or lunges should you do?
You can start with 3 sets of @10 repetitions each and then as you progress you can move up to 12 to 15 reps. (Make sure with lunges that you work both sides evenly, right and left.)

Lean legs here we come! 🙂
