One of THE BEST WAYS tone your legs, calves, glutes, butt and thighs is probably STAIR-ING right at you...hint, hint! If you have stairs in your house - find reasons to go up and down them as often as possible. If you are working in a high story corporate building and need to take the elevator to get to your floor - take the stairs instead! If you live near a highschool like I do, chances are - there are stadium stairs. I use both the stairs and the bleachers for a multitude of challenging exercises.
My Stadium Work-out:
#1) Warm up first by speed walking or jogging around the track a few times. 
#2) Sprint straight up each flight of stairs (between the bleachers) stepping on every other step. Come back down and run to the next flight of stairs. Repeat this 3-4 times.
#3) Run diagonally up each flight of bleachers until you have gone all the way across every flight. Pump your arms back and forth as you go - this will really get your adrenaline going and increase your cardio. Then walk around the track once in-between to give yourself a little recovery time. Repeat as many times as you can. I always go for three sets of each with one lap around the track inbetween.
This work-out should only take you 30-45 minutes max and you're done! Stairs will do amazing things for your legs and give you great endurance!
