There's nothing quite like a pair of super-sexy, toned legs, is there? Shameem Akthar shows you five yoga poses that can help you get the legs you've always dreamed of!

All the hottest legs in the world -- whether they belong to Deepika Padukone or Madonna -- can be tracked back to yoga practice.

Yoga is by far the best way to tone up the legs without injuring yourself, as you can with other such activity.

The sister practices -- like Pilates -- have borrowed heavily from yoga. So it does not matter what you do -- including martial arts like Muay Thai.

Ultimately, it all comes back to the basics of yoga. This explains why yoga is the favourite activity of the worlds most beautiful people.

For yoga to work, you must practice daily. At first, attempt the poses for a short duration. But the time for each pose, if held static, must be regularly increased.

If doing the pose dynamically, the number of repeats in a pose must also rise dramatically. To tone up the legs, the muscles in the legs must be pushed to the point of fatigue. Lackadaisical practice will not serve here.

All poses are also very safe for the knees. This cannot be said of most other activities.

So, the trick is to work the pose in both methods -- statically and dynamically -- so different textures of muscle fibres are developed. This will help firm the skin.

At least 20 minutes of the entire yoga practice must be dedicated to just leg raises, as listed below.
