    Is this enough to tone up bum and legs

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could look at the workout I done today and tell me if its enough to tone and shape legs/bum

    1. 15 x Barbell squats
    2. Hip thrust with weights placed on belly for 1 minute
    3. 15 x Dumbell Deadlift
    4. Kneeling leg lift - 30 on each side
    5. 15 x Seated Leg curl
    6. 15 x Leg extensions (machine)

    I did all of that 3 times

    followed by 15 minutes on the crosstrainer switching between 30 seconds of intense movement on a high resistance and a minute of normal movement on a normal resistance

    I'm completely new to this so sorry if I sound silly! Any advice would be great, if the routine is ok how many times a week should I be doing it?
    Thankyou very much!

    Deadlifts and squats are great, but what is going to be key is lifting heavy enough to get muscle growth - read my article here - the truth about toning

    If you are looking to "tone and shape" your bum and legs your going to need to progressively lift heavier over time, generally keeping your rep ranges a bit lower, and eat enough. Better yet get on a good full body lifting program. One that has shown proven results and can give you a good grasp of understanding how weight training works. Starting Strength is a good one or NROLFW.
