They use the largest muscle in the body, and ultimately produce the greatest level of growth hormone. Physical activation of the quads and hams will put the body into a more anabolic state. This means greater muscle growth. They are also a great core and bodyweight exercise, that makes burning calories from home a breeze.</span></span></div>

The entire upper leg muscle will take form with the muscular structure you would want. Do this while maintaining a caloric deficit to influence weight loss. This will leave you with slimmer, more defined legs.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">The great thing about deadlifts is that they don’t just focus on the legs (like squats) as they incorporate a lot of the upper body, also. This exercise further accentuates the body’s attractive figure by enforcing quality posture through strengthening the lower and upper back muscles. Variations of the traditional deadlift offer more focus on the leg muscles. You can even choose between them to focus more on the quadriceps or hamstrings, completely depending on what you prefer.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">Doing your cardio through the stair simulators is a great way to get the legs in shape. This burns calories at a higher rate than jogging and feels much less intense than sprinting. It is easy to do the stair machines for long periods of time, as well. This is a fun and active way to get the leg muscles going in an endurance style workout, plus it helps to strengthen and tone the calves.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">The inner and outer of the thigh isn’t targeted very well in the heavier movements. You need an isolated exercise for these areas, and the abductor and adductor machines are the best bet. These allow you to focus on the smaller muscles, which play a role in the overall strength of the muscles in your upper leg. For overall strength and superior muscle definition, these two movements should definitely make it into your leg slimming workout.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">There is no one exercise that will slim your legs. There is no way your body will slim down just your lower half, either. This is a part of a weight loss journey and your diet and training must mimic that. You need a caloric deficit without any nutritional deficiencies.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">This explosive exercise works the big, powerful muscles around your glutes and quads, and sends your heart into overdrive, according to research from the University of Wisconsin. In the study, participants burned 20.2 calories a minute and their average heart was 93% of its max for the course of a 20-minute workout. The kettlebell swing works you so hard because it’s not a movement you’re used to. You’re not super efficient at it, which is taxing to your body.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">2. Indoor Rowing</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">A 185-pound person can burn 377 calories during 30 minutes of vigorous rowing, or about 12.5 calorie per minute, reports a Harvard University study. And because you need to utilize the muscles in your arms, legs, and back for efficient strokes, it’s a great total-body trainer. Want to row like an Olympian and burn even more calories on the rower?</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">A 180-pound person burns about 1.43 calories per burpee. So if you can hammer out at least seven a minute you’re in the double digits. But you should shoot to average at least 10 every 60 seconds, or a rate of 14.3 calories per minute. Why? Performing just 10 reps at a fast pace can rev your metabolism as much as a 30-second, all-out bike sprint, according to a study presented at the American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">It sounds downright crazy, it’s possible to blast 87 calories in one minute on this stationary bike that increases its resistance as you pedal harder.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">The key:</span> Give everything you have in that 60 seconds. Note: This number relies on the accuracy of the built-in AirDyne monitor, which calculates calories by converting revolutions of the fan into physical work.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Moderate-intensity rope jumping—about 100 to 120 skips per minute—burns about 13 calories a minute, according to the Compendium of Physical Activities. This mode of exercise uses more muscle groups than jogging, and challenges your balance, and coordination—especially if you practice drills that require extra hand and foot skills.</span></div>

You can burn up to 1,500 calories an hour—or nearly 25 calories per minute—pedaling the heavy, hard-to-turn monster bikes and tackling all types of terrain, all year round.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Reality check:</span> That kind of calorie burn depends on your fitness and strength levels, and your skill. But regardless, it’s sure to be one hell of workout.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">7. “Cindy”</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">This CrossFit Workout of the Day (WOD) burns an average 13 calories per minute, according to scientists at Kennesaw State University. It’s effective because it pairs three exercises—5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 air squats—that work different major muscle groups, and you do as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">So if you’re in amazing condition, you can go all-out for each one, without slowing down or stopping to recover in between. If you’re somewhat less than amazing (read: like most people), you simply rest when needed. For example, you don’t move on to the push-up until you’ve completed 5 reps of the pull-up, even if you have to stop and start. Any routine that takes you from standing, down to the ground, and back up to standing again is an amazing calorie burner, because it really spikes the heart rate.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">8. Cross-Country Skiing</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Zipping along on skis delivers a better heart-pounding workout compared to running at about the same pace, thanks to the fact that the sport requires you to push with your lower-body and pull with your upper.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">In fact, a good cross-country ski session can burn more than 12 calories a minute, according to the Compendium of Physical Activities. That explains why Nordic Skiers consistently collapse in exhaustion at the finish line of Olympic races. No fresh snow? Look for the new Concept2 SkiErg machine at your gym.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">9. Tabata Jump Squats</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">This four-minute miracle drill burns major calories both during a workout and after. In an Auburn University at Montgomery study, participants who did eight rounds of all-out jump squats—20 seconds of hard work, separated by 10 seconds of rest—burned 13.4 calories per minute and doubled their post-exercise metabolic rate for at least 30 minutes.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">10. Battling Ropes</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">In a recent College of New Jersey study comparing various workout styles, battling-rope exercises came in first in terms of total oxygen consumption and an average calorie burn of 10.3 calories per minute. It’s the easiest and most effective way to drop 20, 30, or even 50 pounds (and flatten your belly forever). <a href="http://lindseyreviews.com/10-exercises-that-burn-more-fat-than-running/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Read More</a></span></div>
