Thighs & Legs Workouts

Thigh & leg workout

This is a short one from me today. I hope you all had a great weekend.  And I will be back with more next Sunday.

Trouble spots, be gone! Get a longer, leaner look with these exercises and workouts designed to trim your thighs and sculpt your legs.  I know how frustrating cellulite can be, I used to have so called “dimples” and I tried everything, but there’s nothing like the right nutrition plan and the work out routine.  Nothing else works, but you have to commit.

Pendulum Lift

What you’ll need: A step and a pair of 5-pound dumbbells.

• Stand with right foot on step and left foot hanging off back, holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms by sides, palms facing back.
• Keeping right leg slightly bent, hinge forward from hips while lifting left leg behind you until body is almost parallel to floor and hands hang below shoulders.
• Return to start. Do 15 reps.
• Switch legs; repeat.

One-and-a-Half Squat

Targets: Butt, quads, and hamstrings

• Stand on step with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms by sides, palms facing in.
• Squat until thighs are near parallel to floor, keeping knees behind toes and back straight.
• Rise halfway; hold for 2 seconds. Lower into full squat.
• Return to start. Do 15 reps.

Knee Pump

Targets: Hips, butt, and hamstrings

• Stand on step with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand, elbows bent, palms facing in.
• Lean upper body forward slightly and lunge straight back to floor with right leg (don’t bend knee).
• Keep bent left knee behind toes.
• Lift right leg, bringing right knee and left hand up toward chest. Lunge right leg back; lower left arm.
• Do 15 reps. Switch legs; repeat.

Single-Leg Raise

Targets: Calves

• Stand on step with right foot in center, left forefoot on edge (heel hanging off, but not below step level), holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms by sides, palms facing in.
• Balancing on ball of left foot, lift right foot a few inches in front of you. Raise left heel as high as you can, then lower, keeping right leg straight and lifted throughout.
• Do 15 reps; switch legs and repeat.
