Summer is right around the corner, and with the increased temperatures come shorter shorts, sundresses and bikinis. If you’re working toward toning your legs and want to develop or further develop a thigh gap, read on for exercises to help you do just that.

A big bonus to many of these exercises is that they target muscle groups other than your hamstrings, quads, and calves, including your glutes!

Congratulations! You’ve been working hard on improving your fitness, and now you’ve succeeded, because your workouts are getting easier, faster and you’re becoming way more efficient.

And although it’s something to be proud of, it’s also time to take a step back and make sure they aren’t so easy that you aren’t getting any benefits any more.

Here are 4 ways to tell if your workouts are too easy:

I decided that it would be really fun to live a bit like Khloé Kardashian for five days, and then document it.

I love makeup so much, and like Khloé, I am constantly at the gym. I’m also pretty active on social media, running my fitness blog, Twitter, fitness Instagram, personal Instagram, and Facebook page. I thought it would be super fun to kick it all up a notch; I mean, who wouldn’t want to glam it up for a few days?

You may be thinking that now that you’ve taken up exercising and are into the groove, you might just do it every day.

You’re to the point where you’re enjoying it and starting to see results and taking any time off may put you off track and make you lose motivation.

Here’s why you need to be resting:

Workout out at home can be confusing at times, especially if you’re new to doing it. The thought of making your own circuits can be terrifying, and the exercise moves themselves can be so intimidating. However, there is a way to avoid all of that, and even have some fun with your workouts – by following videos!

There are so many perks to following fitness channels, and doing videos that are posted on the World Wide Web. One is the community that tends to build and follow when discovering a trainer on YouTube (like Cassey Ho and Blogilates) – it’s an inspiration and helps keep one motivated. Which, is actually the next perk, if you find a channel that offers “… Day Challenge,” consider doing them. Not only will it motivate you to get up, but also it’ll make the final results even more lasting because you’ll remember where you started, and how far you’ve come since then.

Below are ten workout videos that range in length, the type of workout, but are enjoyable to do, and can be done in the comfort of one’s own home! So grab your weights or soup cans (I used those as weights once – very effective.), and a giant glass of water and let’s get to working out!
