The best exercises for great glutes and killer legs include moves that use your core, hips, inner thighs and outer thighs to stabilize. Lower body exercise that do triple duty train every inch of your legs, burn more calories, and get you results faster. It's also important to incorporate lower body circuit training in order to build lean legs vs. massive bulky legs. Start with 10-12 reps of each exercise. Move from one exercise to the next without resting. After you complete the 3 exercise circuit rest for 20 seconds. You can grab a drink of water or try some active recovery like stretching, crunches, or jump rope. Once your break is over repeat the circuit along with the rest interval two more times.
