Leg WorkoutThese exercises tone the back and inside thighs, where flabbiness is most obvious. 1. Stretch your leg muscles first by sitting cross-legged with your palms on the floor in front of your feet. Bend forward as far as you can and hold for five counts. 2. Position yourself on all fours, resting on your forearms. Stretch out your left leg and point your toes. Lift it as high as you can, cross it over your right leg and touch the floor. Lift it back again. Repeat eight times for each leg. 3. Lift your left leg up behind you, bending the knee. Keep the foot flexed and raise your heel toward the ceiling. Lift and lower in a pump action eight times for each leg. 4. Lie on your right side, resting your head on your hand. Keep your left leg straight and bend your right leg, so the knee and foot rest on the floor in front of you. Flex your left foot and raise and lower the leg eight times without touching the floor. Repeat on the other side. 5. Now, with your left leg bent, so that the foot is planted flat on the floor in front of you and the knee is pointing to the ceiling, hold the left foot and move your right leg slightly forward eight times. Then raise and lower the right leg eight times without touching the floor. Repeat on the other side. 6. Finish by lying on your back and bringing your right knee as far as you can into your chest, clasping your hands around the calf or ankle. Hold the stretch for five counts then swap legs. |
