I chose the in home training program with no free weights or machines. How can I add legs to my program, I need to burn some fat off of them and then shape them up. Can you tell me what exercises to do. I use a cross-trainer and somtimes an elliptical machine, for aerobics probably 10 minutes a day, along with an ab workout, and then I use free weights in between for arms, shoulders, etc. But I don't like my legs is there a way to add legs to this program I have tried but this does not seem like an option for in home training, and I don't know why not. Help, please I am kind of new to this site. But love to exercise. I am 45 years old, 5 ft 2 and weigh about 115, with no much body fat, but I want to focus on my legs more. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

you can do squats (narrow, shoulder width, and wide), lunges, walking lunges, calf raises....all at home.

okay, how can I add them to my routine on here. I want to switch from the abs program to the legs program. Thanks for your help much appreciated.

I know I can do them at home, but not sure what reps I should start out with for each.
