Squats Well, squats are a good place to start but if you're going for a well rounded fitness and appearance it's a little more involved. There are several exercises, besides squats, that will help achieve this goal including calf raises, dead lift, one-legged squats, power cleans and some stationary flexion and extension machine exercises. The key is combining all of the above, mixing it up to keep your body from adapting to specific exercises, and working at higher weights and lower repetitions. Remember, this is for building muscle mass in particular.
Squats. stationary, reverse lunges, front lunges, wide squats. The most important thing to remember is keeping your back straight and your knees over your feet (NOT going in front) High reps, low weight to tone Low reps, high weight to add muscles and bulk
By doing leg workouts and by increasing the amount of time you do them slowly

Exercise for our legs? Running. Its continuous movement of legs, requiring muscular endurance around the calves, quadriceps and thigh muscles. Continuous use of the legs in strength training will force the body to first:
There's also cycling. Continuous leg movement which targets the upper leg rather than the calves, however can be still beneficial. Setting the bike on a high gear forces the thighs and quadriceps to work harder, although the calves will not receive as much of a workout.
Squats are good, using the proper technique will help build leg muscle quickly. However its important to make sure you can comfortably do a good amount of squats with the weight you've set yourself. If you can only do five or so, you're at risk of damaging your muscles and back. If you can do heaps without stopping, you're not working out and should probably select something heavier.
Of all these activities though I would choose running. It develops leg muscle very prominently if done persistently and can bring other vital fitness benefits including increased cardiovascular performance.

Depends on what kinds of muscles, and Lower or Upper Leg. If you're training for explosive strength, Jogging on the spot while raising your knees as high as possible is a good training exercise. Another alternative is to stand, then have your legs bent, angled slightly apart in a sit position (With no chair) and remain in that position till you feel the strain for about twenty seconds. Repeat a couple of times. These are for your thighs.
For lower leg just keep jogging and sprinting and alternating between the two.:)
Running and squats are very helpful to lose fat and tone legs.

Because your muscles are sore after a long day of hard nonstop work.
Dynamic exercise (like running), will not cause a change in muscle size. If you do weight training or use weights on your legs when you run, your legs will increase in size. Exercise does cause fat to be burned, so the amount of fat on your legs may decrease.
