Like they say in that pantyhose commercial, nothing beats them. But if your goal is to get that great pair of legs, that’s precisely what you may have to do to achieve your gam goals: Beat them silly.

One such exercise that could get you kickin’ like a Vegas showgirl is the split jump. This vigorous regimen is not only ideal for building strong, shapely legs, it is also guaranteed to quickly get the heart and blood pumping.

With your feet only a few inches apart, take a dumbbell in each hand. Step forward with one foot, keeping your back straight as you lunge toward the floor. Your front knee should be at a 45-degree angle as your back heel should roll off the floor. Then, exploding off the ground, switch your legs in midair and land with your opposite foot on the floor. Repeat the motion for a set of 10 (on each leg).

Beware! You will feel the impact almost immediately.
