There is no question that shapely thighs help define the female physique.  Not only does a great pair of legs help radiate femininity, it allows us women to wear the shortest of skirts with the utmost confidence. 

Unfortunately, some women are extremely hesitant when it comes to training their lower body as they believe it will make their legs “bulky” and “thick”.  This is just not true! In fact, your legs will become shapelier and appear leaner.  By working out your lower body, you will actually help strip away excess body fat and reveal tight, toned tights. 

The quads are made up of four frontal muscles.  Three of these muscles function as one unit and cannot be individually isolated during training.  However, by using a variety of leg exercises will help stimulate all regions of the quads. 
Personally, I make sure to always use both compound movements (movements using more than one and isolation movements (movements joint) using only one joint).  I pick 2 or 3 different exercises from both movements performing 3 sets per exercise and 15 repetitions. 

Below you will find a list of quad exercises, as well as hamstring, glute and calve exercises, from both lists.
