If working out more was one of your New Year’s resolutions, Eva Longoria’s latest Instagram video might just be the inspiration you’ve been looking for.
In what we can only assume accompanies her favourite form of cardio (jumping on a trampoline), Eva is back to her disciplined workout routine, but this time she’s focused on strengthening and toning her legs.
Dressed head-to-toe in a perfectly coordinating blue outfit, Eva brought her followers into her home gym as she completed her “first leg day of the year”. The quick and easy-to-follow leg workout is perfect for those who are interested in adding weights to their routine but aren’t exactly sure where to start.
So, if you’re sans personal trainer or even a gym membership, this workout is home or park-friendly. All you’ll need is a pair of dumbbells, a bench and some elastic resistance bands.
In Eva’s video, she repeats each rep between eight to 10 times, and if the exercise requires single leg sets, she will range from five to 10 sets on each leg. We recommend completing this workout three times over for a really good burn.
Here is Eva Longoria’s complete leg workout routine:
- Weighted squats. Using a resistance band just above the knees.
- Weighted curtsy lunges. Repeat on both legs.
- Banded crab walks. Repeat on both legs.
- Single leg glute bridge kicks. Elevate stationery heel onto block.
- Weighted hip thrusts. Use a bench to support your upper back.
- Cable glute kickbacks. If you don’t have access to a cable machine, use elastic resistance bands and/or ankle weights.
- Weighted step ups. Repeat on both legs.

Will you try this workout?
Wow good for her!
In the last two years I have upped my weightlifting and it is not paying off. As in my legs have become super muscular. I am dropping back the weights and going hard on the cardio. Skipping in particular works for my body type.
skipping is a great exercise. Hope it works well for you Perthchick.
Yeah I’ll give it a go. I’m always looking to switch up my routine.
Ouch! That workout looks tough!
I’ll pass on this one!!!
Not sure if I will try that, not too big on work out.
Too hard for me lol
She has achieved great results through hard work and discipline. My body would not tolerate a work out like that.
Nice workout. Id like to give it a try.
I saw that she also does workouts on a trampoline – cool idea!
She looks amazing!
She certainly puts a lot of work into her workouts.
I’m exhausted from just looking at that workout.
I prefer to stick with my current routine.
I need to do more workouts!
I guess you have to work at it to get legs that go all the way up like that
This looks like a good workout, i would give this a go
Nah, I do not “workout”. Love just being active and eating healthy. Naturally spontaneously healthy fit is my game.
Some great exercises
Only yesterday, I read a Readers’ Digest article about how poor leg strength is linked to cognitive decline; but they don’t know why. I resolved to do something about it. Those weighted hip thrusts look hard, but I’m sure they’re effective.
Killer workout, but it dose pay off…
I would like to try something more at the beginner level.
I do different exercises, its fun and i like it
Wow. I exercise, but not these kings of workouts!
Well these exercises certainly are working for her
I stopped going to the gym when COVID got out of control in my area, can’t wait until I feel comfortable to get back in there
That’s dedication right there
Some of these workout moves are good, however it’s silly to adopt somebody else’s program and expect their results… every person is different! You will never get the exact same results as somebody else. Best to talk to a trainer and get your own plan for your own goals.
That looks hard! She is in great shape, though.
