Legs Slimming Exercises
March 9, 2009
Most of us take our legs for granted. We don’t realize that without our legs, we would not be able to travel to all of the places that we need to go. Our legs support the weight of our body. That is why strong legs are important. Follow these leg exercises to build strong, lean and muscular legs.
Lunges are a great way to work your entire leg and buttocks. Start from a standing position with your feet shoulder width apart. Step forward with your right leg. Keep yourself balanced by placing your hands on your hips and your back straight. Lower yourself down to a ninety degree angle. Do not let your bent right knee extend over the front of your foot. Use the muscles in your legs to push yourself back up into a standing position. Now lunge with the other leg. Do thirty lunges.
The pile is an exercise taken from ballet. Stand with your feet more than shoulder width apart. Turn your toes outward. You can hold onto a chair for support or place your hands on your hips. Lower your body straight down into a sitting position. Slowly raise your body back up. It is important to keep your back straight. Do thirty piles.
Heel raises develop your calves and the back of your leg. With a shoulder width stance, hold onto a chair and raise yourself up on your toes. Hold the position until you feel a burn. Lower your body and repeat forty times.
Squats like lunges work the entire leg and buttocks. Again, stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Lower yourself into a sitting position while keeping your back straight. As you lower yourself, push your rear end out backwards. Use your leg muscles to push yourself back up. Repeat twenty times and then switch to the opposite leg.
Lateral raises tone both the inner and outer thighs. To tone your outer thighs, balance your body weight on your left foot and turn your right foot out at an angle. Raise your right leg out sideways. You do not have to go very high up. Just a few inches off the ground will cause the muscles to pull. Do twenty repetitions. For the inner thigh, again balance your weight on your left foot.
Your right foot will face forward. Move your right leg across your body towards the left. You will feel the pull in your inner thigh. Slowly swing your right foot in towards your left and back out. Repeat this twenty times and then switch to the opposite leg.
These exercises will help build your muscle strength in your legs and make balancing your body easier.
