If you want to shape your glutes, thighs, and legs, try these five simple but highly effective exercises.
This routine will help you get slimmer thighs in just one week. Remember to do at least 15 minutes of cardio training after each workout.
1. Frog kicks
Lie on your back, extend your legs and bring your heels together.
Then, bring your legs toward your stomach, keeping your heels still. Then, reverse the movement to the starting position. That’s one repetition.
Do 20 repetitions.
2. Plie squat
Extend your feet with your toes pointed.
Begin to bend your knees, squatting down as far as you can.
Push up through your heels, squeezing your inner thighs and glutes at the top.
Complete 3 sets of 12 reps.
3. Speed skater
Jump to one side and, as you touch the ground with your toe, step your opposite leg back.
Immediately jump again in the other direction, and continue alternating until you complete the repetitions.
Perform 25 to 50 repetitions in total.
4. Squat with back kick
Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart.
Bend your elbows, making fists with your palms.
Now slowly lower yourself into a squat.
Stand back up and push your right leg out as if you were kicking something.
Repeat the same process with the other leg.
Complete 12 repetitions with each leg.
5. Butterfly stretch
Sit on the floor and place your feet together.
Rest your hands on your ankles.
From this position, try to lower your knees as far down as you can and then raise them. This will resemble the flapping of a butterfly’s wings.
Hold this stretch for 1 minute.
