leg toning workout

Here's a short and sweet leg toning workout you can do while watching TV or in addition to your normal exercise routine.

10 squats + leg lifts :: squat then lift one leg to side, alternating sides after each squat [10 each leg]

10 lunges [each leg]

50 calf raises

50 squat jacks :: like a jumping jack, except you squat when feet are apart

1 minute jump rope :: if you don't have a real jump rope, pretend
