Dead Lifts

Align your feet with your hips and slowly bend at the waist. Keep arms straight with one dumb bell in each hand. Go down as far as you can without arching your back. Slowly come up back, pulling your abs in and squeezing your butt at the top.  Engage your hamstrings on the way up. Do four sets of ten to 15 repetitions.

Ladies looking for a longer and leaner leg without all that muscle should try exercises on all fours with no weights. Barry recommends three moves: kickback, fire hydrant and lunges.

Kick Back

Do one hundred kick backs each side for the upper thighs. While on your hands and knees bring knee to chest and extend it fully back in line with your spine. 

Fire Hydrant

Put your legs shoulder width apart.  Keep your back straight and your head aligned in a neutral position.  Lift the bent knee up to the side of the body (like a dog does with a fire hydrant). Squeeze your butt at the top.   Do 15 with a 15 second hold on each side.
