Models that did leg exercises achieved the great legs you see in advertisements. The typical fitness program and working towards your target heart rate for cardio provide a great overall fitness routine for the entire body, but don't always target the legs to get them in incredible shape. You can find a number of exercise machines and equipment that you can use to get your legs looking the way you want at home or at the gym. However you choose to exercise your legs, you can always consider doing them on your own at home.

For the first exercise for you legs stand with your feet at hip distance apart, your toes straight ahead and knees slightly bent. Keep your back flat and your shoulders back while clenching your abs and slowly lower your upper body down, keeping the bar very close to the legs. Lower your body down as far as you can and slowly raise back up while squeezing the glutes and hamstrings in your legs, keeping your weight in the heels of your feet. For this exercise to be effective for your legs, it is essential that you keep your back flat the entire time. This exercise is effective on the glutes, hamstrings and lower back.

You can use an ankle weight if you choose to for this exercise for your legs. Balance on your hands and knees with your abs squeezed in and your back flat. Straighten one leg out and lift it up slowly while squeezing the glute muscle. Lower your leg back down until your toes barely touch the floor. Repeat this exercise and then switch legs. This exercise targets the hamstrings and glute muscles in your legs.

For firm legs, you should do exercises at least two to three times per week.
