workout
This advanced lower-body workout (requires familiarity with kettlebells) is designed not for vanity's sake (though beautiful legs are certainly a happy accidental byproduct), but to make your lower body more stable than ever. The result: You're less likely to turn an ankle stepping off the curb in your new platforms, or yank a hammy chasing after a wayward nephew. Do it two non-consecutive days each week.
GET STARTED: Complete all sets of each move (resting 60 seconds between each of them) before continuing on to the next exercise for women.

Hold a light barbell or two dumbbells at arm's length over your head, palms facing forward. Pull your abs in toward your spine to stabilize your core. Step your left leg forward into a lunge, then press up and step forward into a lunge with your right leg. 
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees, push your hips back, and grab the top of the kettlebell with both hands (A). Swing it back between your legs (B). As you stand up, snap your hips forward, squeeze your glutes, and swing the kettlebell to chest height (C). Let it fall back through your legs, but don't put it down.
