Legs form the very foundation of the human body and as such building the leg muscles is something no human can afford to ignore. Most people are terrified of doing leg exercises as they usually require the most vigorous of efforts. But it would be really silly if you happen to be one of those people with a really beefed up upper body only to be paired with a couple of lanky chicken legs that can't even hold your upper body bulk.

You can get started with squats. Make sure that you place your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly go about bending your knees, so that you can start feeling the pressure of your own body weight on your hams, quads, glutes, calves, lower back, and lower abs. Feel your glutes gradually inching towards the floor, but not quite. Keep sinking till your butts cross the horizontal line parallel from the point of your knees, and then immediately reversing your direction. Rise all the way up facing vertically upwards. Make sure that you squeeze your butt muscles during your movement back upwards. Also ensure that you do not come to your normal standing position in a jiffy with a jerky lock at your knees. Finally make sure that you continue with a relaxed breathing during your squats, instead of panting or experiencing short breaths in quick succession. See if you can perform around three to four sets of this exercise with roughly 10 to 12 reps per set.

If you feel you are really far behind the rest of the muscle building crowd, as far as your behind is concerned, then you might want to give this exercise a quick run in. It really tones the buttocks big time and can make your butts, one of your top assets pretty soon. Lie on the floor, with your back facing the floor, so that your face is facing up towards the ceiling. You could use a mat or not as per your comfort or preference. Extend your right leg long and straight ahead of you, right into the air, such that your leg forms an angle of roughly 45 degrees with the horizontal floor. At the same time make sure that you have bent your left leg and placed your left foot flat and firm on the floor for support. Keep your back straight and your tummy squeezed. This way of maintaining the tension in the mid section of your body is also popularly referred to, by the term, power house.

Now lift your buttocks off the floor. While doing this you can take a little support from your left leg, also through this motion, and while holding the position of your butts of the floor, ensure that you have squeezed your butts, and are holding that squeeze for a couple of seconds. Now gradually bring your buttocks down to rest back on the floor. You could do one set of this initially with roughly 10 to 12 reps per set. Then you could switchover to the other leg and repeat the same sequence of steps, for another set of 10 to 12 reps. As time passes by and you gain more practice, and your leg muscles become stronger, you can gradually ramp up the number of sets for this exercise.

With these exercises, you will be all set to flaunt a beautiful and sexily sculpted lower body at one and all, and stand out of the crowd.
