Having nicely sculpted toned legs are almost every girl’s basic desire but unfortunately they require some vigorous exercise routine. The reason behind it is that we tend to store most of the fat in that area and lack of exercise leads to lumpiness. If you cannot schedule yourself for a daily gym session, you might want to try Yoga which would help you tone your lower back and legs.
