Kate gets her astonishing super toned legs

The key is working on the SEVEN muscle groups most of us have never heard of

THERE are very few things I have in common with the Princess of Wales. We’re both tall (5ft 9in), have long brown hair and are married with young children. But there is one attribute, above all, in which Kate defies comparison — and it’s her utterly flawless, much envied legs. So how does she keep them in such good shape?

By toning, firming and strengthening them, says personal trainer Jemma Thomas who explains the leg can be broken down into seven muscle groups — from the buttocks to the ankles — with each requiring a different exercise to whip it into shape. But you don’t have to be a runner and gym-goer like Kate — you’ll get the same result working out at home with this expert guide.

You’ll need to work each muscle two to three times a week, as part of a 30-minute workout, over at least six weeks. And be sure to warm up first with a brisk walk or five minutes alternating jogging on the spot with star jumps.
