They'll leave your stems looking so toned, you'll be flaunting them like Angelina. Squat Kicks Start in a squat position, rise up, and kick your leg straight out to the side at hip level with your leg. Return to the squat position and kick with the opposite leg. Do 15 on each side. 180 Squat Jumps From a squat position, jump up and twist 180 degrees in the air so you land (in a squat) facing the opposite direction. Do these for 30 seconds. Plie Heel Raise Embrace your inner ballerina with this one: Stand with your feet wide, with your toes and knees turned out as you lower down into a plie squat keeping your knees above your ankles, with your arms extended out to sides (need help balancing? Hold onto a chair). Keep your abs tight in the squat, and lift your heels off the floor for a second before lowering them. Do this 10 times. Toe Touch Lunge Stand with your feet hip width apart with your arms at your sides. Lunge back with your right leg, keeping your chest lifted, pressing into your left heel. Reach your fingertips toward your left toes and bend your left knee 90 degrees. Hold this for one second and return to your starting position. Do 10 reps, switch sides, and repeat. The Switch Jump Stand with your feet hip width apart and lunge forward with right leg. Hold the lunge with your right knee bent at 90 degrees. Keeping your arms at your sides, push off your right foot using your arms to jump and switch legs, landing with your left leg forward into a lunge. Hold this position for a second, then repeat. Do 10 reps on each side, alternating sides as you jump. The Kneeling Side Kick Kneel on the floor and balance on your left knee with your left hand on the floor directly under your left shoulder. Extend your right leg out to the side, with your toes touching floor and your right fingertips behind head. Keeping your right leg straight, kick it forward at hip height, flex your right foot, hold it for a a second. Do 12 reps, switch sides, and repeat.
