Sculpt a kickass lower body in less than 15 minutes.
Guess what? You don't have to resign yourself to hours of lunges if you're looking to sculpt strong, sexy legs. These five moves from Australian trainer Emily Skye will firm up all of your leg muscles — from butt to calves — so your legs look longer and leaner. All you need is a resistance band for a kickass lower body workout you can check off your To Do list in less than 15 minutes.
Complete each exercise for 40 seconds one after the other, then rest for 60 seconds. Complete the circuit 5 times
1. Resistance Band Squat
