Who doesn't want a set of killer gams, especially in the summer? Toned, healthy and sleek legs will make you feel extra confident, especially when you wear shorts, dresses or skirts. Luckily, you don't need to be born with gorgeous legs. Here are seven great ways to get beautiful legs:

Start Leg Toning Exercises

Toned legs not only feel healthy and strong- they also look amazing. There's no need for an expensive personal trainer to get toned legs, either. You can easily tone your legs at home using one of many no-equipment-needed leg workouts available for free online, like this one. The best part is that legs tend to become toned fairly quickly compared to other body parts, because the larger muscles of the legs respond well to spot training.

Check Out Varicose Vein Treatment

Few things kill your dreams of having gorgeous legs quite like those unsightly varicose veins that frequently start popping up in middle age. Not only are varicose veins a bit embarrassing, but they can also become painful over time, so it's a great idea to have them treated professionally.

With professional varicose vein treatment, your varicose veins will be banished with laser surgery or other medical options, depending on the severity of your situation as well as your budget.

Try Self-Tanning Lotion

If you happen to be fair-skinned, you probably know that pale legs show every scrape, scar and blemish much more obviously than darker legs. To get a golden glow without the risk of sun damage or skin cancer, try a self-tanning lotion from a drugstore or specialty beauty store. These range from lotions that provide an instant, dramatic tan to more natural-looking ones that darken your legs gradually over the course of a few days.

Get Waxed

If shaving is leaving you with annoying stubble and taking too much time, consider making an appointment with a professional waxer. Waxing tends to provide silky smooth results that last for weeks instead of just a day or two like shaving. Be sure to take ibuprofen right before your appointment, since waxing can be a bit uncomfortable. If you're really brave, you can save money by trying an at-home waxing kit.

Banish Bruises

If you play sports, have little kids, or are simply a little on the clumsy side, frequent bruises can be both unpleasant to look at and physically painful. Luckily, you're not stuck waiting out the long bruise healing time. Instead, you can get your bruises to fade more quickly by icing and elevating the area as quickly as possible after the bruise occurs.

You can also try some home remedies for banishing bruises. Some people swear by rubbing the bruised area with a cotton ball full of witch hazel or apple cider vinegar to help facilitate fast healing.   

Bust Cellulite

While there is no cure for unsightly cellulite, there are lots of ways to manage it and get rid of it temporarily. Butt toning exercises like squats, or anything that builds lean muscles, such as pilates, can help minimize cellulite over time. For a quick fix, over-the-counter cellulite creams can temporarily plump your skin, making those cellulite dimples much less noticeable. Some medical spas also offer injectable fillers specifically for cellulite, which can have very dramatic, albeit temporary, results.

Don't Forget Your Feet

Now that your legs are in tip-top, leg model shape, don't ruin the effect with unkempt feet. Regular pedicures, whether at home or at a spa or nail salon, will keep your feet smooth, callus-free, and polished.

If you follow these tips, you'll be showing off healthy-looking, lovely legs in no time.
