BELOW WE EXPLAIN HOW TO START:
High knee exercises
Start with this exercise to tone your glutes , calves and core, improve your balance, burn calories and increase your metabolism. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and lift one leg. Bring your knee up towards your chest, hold for a few seconds and lower it to the floor.
Next, repeat with the second leg, moving back and forth between the right and left side. While trying to maintain balance on the standing leg, you’ll tone your calves, quads, hamstrings , and glutes.
Plie Squat
This exercise is very similar to squats . Only this time you have to spread your legs as far apart as possible. This way, as you lower your body, the muscles on the inner thighs are stretched and you can feel the burn. Make sure to keep your back straight at all times and rest your arms on your calves.
Deep/Full Squats
This exercise is very effective for the gluteal and leg muscles. Stand with your feet slightly apart. Then lower your buttocks almost to the floor while keeping your feet on the ground.
Burpee
From a standing position, squat down and place your hands on the floor, then jump your legs back into a plank. Do a push-up, jump your feet back underneath you, then extend your legs and hips and jump into the air as high as you can, reaching your hands overhead. Land and immediately move on to the next rep.
Lateral leg raises
Lie on your side, bend your right leg and hold your head with your right arm. Stretch your left leg and lift it as high as you can. Lower your leg without touching the floor and repeat the process. When you’re done, repeat the exercise on the opposite side.
Internal leg raises
This exercise is ideal for the inner thigh. To strengthen the groin muscles, the person lies on their side with the leg to be worked on the bottom. The top leg is bent as shown in the figure. The person raises the bottom leg as high as is comfortable, keeping the knee straight.
