Raise Your Legs for Leaner Thighs

Here’s an exercise for the single most troublesome body part for women everywhere: the thighs. I know what you’re thinking: “Yeah, right. I’ve tried every fancy thigh workout known to man – and still my thighs are big!” Well, sometimes the simple exercises are the most effective. All you need is a mat for this exercise and the ability to lift your legs – making it perfect for beginners! Let’s begin!

Step 1: Lie on a mat on your left side. Support your upper body with your left elbow. Your legs should be extended and aligned with your upper body.

Step 2: Exhale as you slowly raise your legs, keeping them together. Hold for 1 second.

Step 3: Inhale as you slowly lower your legs to the starting position, never letting your feet touch the ground (if possible).

Step 4: Repeat 12 times, then switch sides.
