Full Backcover Description
This lower body toning and shaping workout uses both innovative and traditional exercises to shape the thigh muscle. Although all parts of the thigh muscles are used in Lean Legs & Abs, most of the emphasis is placed on the quadriceps and outer thigh muscles to provide the perfect complement to our Great Glutes workout. The sequence in Lean Legs & Abs is designed to keep your heart rate up while incinerating your thighs and revealing your inner six pack. The segment breakdown is as follows: warm up; compound legs; chair/firewalker; core; stretch and bonus barre. Do all of the segments for the most comprehensive results.

Certified instructor description:
An effective mix of proven classics and creative variations (plus some great stretch sequences ... just when you need them). The first segment features fast-paced, multi-muscle combinations — working your upper and lower body at the same time. These time-efficient moves include squat presses, side lunges with rows and "pulsing backward lunges." The next section targets your thighs with ballet-style chair exercises, standing loop-band routines and side-lying leg lifts. The final segment is all abwork. The moves range from bicycles and pulsing crunches to "Russian twists" and "weighted leg scissors" (with lots of rep and tempo variations). DVD includes a 12-minute ballet-style bonus workout. Requires 5 to 10 lb. dumbbells and a loop band. ©2013.
