work it cause you love it...

ooOooo...i just found more thigh slimming exercises!!
honestly, the main reason why i post these up is so because it's a one stop reference for me!
and if you happen to learn something...well...great! (let me know if you would like to know of any other parts to work out...and i will post it up too..:))



To exercise the back of your thighs

  • Stand with feet apart
  • Bend forward from the waist
  • Reach to your right with both hands and clasp your ankle with both hands
  • Push your upper body downwards towards the floor
  • Count to 20
  • Return to start position & repeat exercise on the left-hand side.
To exercise the front of your thighs
  • Kneel upright on the floor, with knees together
  • Lean backwards & clasp your right ankle with your left hand
  • Do not sit on your ankles - that's cheating!
  • Hold this position for a count of 20
  • Return to start position & repeat exercise on the left-hand side.
To exercise the inside of your thighs
  • Sit down on the floor in front of an ordinary straight back chair
  • Stretch your legs straight out in front of you, with your feet on either side of the chair
  • Keeping your back straight & place your palms on the floor on either side of you
  • Clasp the legs of the chair with the soles of your feet as though trying to push both chair legs together
  • Press hard & hold for a count of 50
To exercise thighs & butt
  • Stand with feet apart, toes pointed outwards, and hands on the outside of your thighs
  • Keeping your back straight, at right angles to the floor, bend knees and allow your hands to slide down your thighs until they reach your knees (keep back straight!)
  • Hold your knees for a count of 5, then slowly return to start position.
  • Repeat 10-20 times.
OR this alternative....
  • Stand with feet slightly apart
  • Stretch your arms straight out ahead of you
  • Slowly bend your knees, until your thighs are roughly parallel with the floor
  • Slowly raise yourself back to the starting position
  • The slower you do, the better
  • Start with 10 real slow ones
After-exercise Stretching
T0 avoid bulky muscles, always stretch the area you have exercised afterwards.

So happy trying out people!
