Tone your butt, hips and thighs better with one-legged exercises.   One-legged exercises really burn the leg fat.  Your muscles will also be better balanced because the stronger leg can’t help the weaker leg to lift your body.  One-legged exercises are also more intense than two-legged exercises.

You will improve your dynamic balance by doing one-legged exercises. Having dynamic balance means that you are able to maintain your center of gravity over a constantly changing base of support. You cannot have dynamic balance without muscular balance.

To achieve muscular balance in your lower body, one-legged exercises should be a big part of the training program. These one-legged exercises can be performed as strengh or power (full speed) exercises.

One lower body exercise that should be in your program is one-legged step ups with knee lift (pictured above). This exercise is done one leg at a time to force each leg to work evenly. For example, you would do 10 repetitions with your right leg and then 10 repetitions with your left leg.

The hanging leg should not touch the bench and you should lower your body under control. This exercise can also be done with dumbbells to increase difficulty. Other good one-legged exercises would be squats and lunges. Add more one-legged exercises to your training regimen.
