Exercises For Thin And Toned Thighs

To obtain the desired effects, it is important to be regular in the practice of these exercises. As you go, you can add sets and reps to improve results.

The thighs are one of the attractive areas of the body. This is the reason why most people want to tone them up, so that they are firm and cellulite free.

The thighs, however, are the part of the body that accumulates the most fat. It is therefore often difficult to slim and firm them.

It is very important to adopt a good program of localized exercises to succeed in achieving perfect thighs without sagging. Said exercises should strengthen the thighs, eliminate fat and gain muscle mass.

The results are obviously not immediate and the efforts must be regular to obtain beautiful legs.

We will therefore share with you below a series of exercises for the thighs, which you can perform at home. Are you up to the challenge?

Squats

Squats are very effective exercises for working the thighs and buttocks. In addition to helping to burn localized fat, they indeed help tone the thighs and reduce cellulite.

• Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, torso straight, and arms forward or behind your neck.
• Bend the knees, while lowering the buttocks as much as possible, and keeping the torso straight.
• Go up and down 20 times, and do 3 sets.

If you want to increase the intensity, you can do this same movement by lifting dumbbells.

Another option is to perform the same downward movement, including a jump. In this case, do 15 repetitions per set.

Strides

With or without dumbbells, this exercise is ideal for toning the thighs and buttocks.

It takes focus and effort, but it’s worth a try.

• Stand with your back straight, shoulders level, chest forward and arms at your sides.
• Now take a step forward with the right leg and bend the knees until the left leg is flush with the floor.
• Return to the starting position and repeat the movement with the other leg, alternating up to 10 or 15 repetitions on each side.

Leg lift

There are several ways to lift your legs to work that particular area.

We will present you the side version, which requires a little more effort and offers better results.

• On a floor mat, lie down on your right side and support your elbow while supporting your head with your hand.
• Raise the leg as high as possible towards the ceiling and try to hold it for a moment in this position, before returning to the starting position.
• Do 10 reps, rest, and do 3 sets with each leg.

Elevations with a balloon

To perform this exercise, you need to stay focused to lift the ball and not drop it during the sets.

You will feel a slight pressure in the legs. This will tell you that you are working your thighs well.

• On a floor mat, lie down on your back, with your arms crossed or with your hands behind your head.
• Put a ball between your legs and then stretch them as much as you can. Try to raise them towards the ceiling, making sure to use only the strength of the hips and buttocks.
• Slowly lower your legs and try to do 3 sets of 15 repetitions.

The scissors

The scissors exercise has different variations depending on the body posture you want to adopt.

We recommend that you perform the scissors in a lying position. They make it possible to work the thighs and buttocks.

• Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, stretch your legs and then raise them about six inches off the floor.
• Contract the stomach and put pressure on the inner thighs. Then cross your legs imitating a scissor motion, and try to hold the position for 8 seconds.
• Do between 6 and 8 repetitions.
