Biggest Loser guru Jillian Michaels inspires our leg-baring spring styles

It makes logical sense: Getting your legs in shape will make you want to show them off. So, as spring finally arrives, it's time to take off the tights and hit the gym. We caught up with 'The Biggest Loser's Jillian Michaels for some leg-centric workouts that are perfect for this season's short-shorts, tulip skirts, and rompers.



Jillian Micheal's "Hot Leg" Workout
Who knew there were so many different kinds of lunges?! I'm not going to say it was easy.... but it was a lot of fun. We caught up with Jillian at a brand-new, 24 Hour Fitness gym in New York so she could show me five great leg workouts. All of these exercises are specifically designed for women--they're meant to tone and elongate muscles without bulking them up. Check out the video below to watch me struggle through the Pendulum lunge, the Single-leg lunge, the Weighted Plie´, the Single-leg pelvic thrust and the Superwoman.
