Get Jennifer Lopez’s Toned Legs — 5 Equipment-Free Exercises

View gallery

Trammell Logan is a SoulCycle Instructor, a Fitness Expert, and the Founder of East Side Dance Co. I took his SoulCycle class in New York last week and it was INTENSE! Kelly Ripa is a huge fan of his class, too! I felt amazing afterward — he is such a great teacher! He also told me some tips on how to get legs like Jennifer Lopez! “To develop lean legs like the beautiful J-Lo, it’s really important to use both cardio and strength training to tone your legs! I highly recommend spin classes paired with gym workouts including squats, lunges, and calf raises.  Try this equipment-free workout at home: 50 squats, 40 alternating reverse lunges, 30 alternating lateral lunges, 20 froggers, and 10 jump squats. Add dumbbells for an extra challenge on the first three movements! If you can’t make it to a class, jumping rope is an effective and affordable option to get your cardio burn.”

I personally love classes, but you don’t need to spend a ton of money or be close to a fitness studio to get results. “Cost-effective workouts include jump roping, running, and body weight circuits,” Trammell says. “When putting together my own full-body workouts, I try to incorporate cardio as well as the following exercises: 1-2 upper body, 1-2 lower body, 1-2 core, and 1-2 full body. Check out your favorite trainers’ social media accounts — as a lot of us post our own workouts and general tips!” Check out Trammell’s Instagram here.

And of course, if you have access, try one of his SoulCycle classes! “Spinning is an amazing workout because it is a low-impact form of cardio that builds up your endurance and overall stamina. The combination of fast jogs and hills push you past your limits and help build your confidence. It’s also incredibly fun to be in a dark room with a group of people and a motivating instructor with a great playlist!” We totally agree!
