Shapely thighs are something that every woman craves. The problem is that women have a habit of gaining weight in their upper legs.
You can blame it on genetics, hormones, age, or simply the fact that we are women; but, the female body tends to store fat in the thighs. Thankfully there are thigh toning exercises like squats and lunges that can help to give you lower body tone quickly.
These thigh exercises are also very convenient. If going to the gym doesn't fit into your daily plan, most leg exercises can be done in the comfort of your home.
Butt Blaster
The buttblaster is a highly effective exercise to tone the buttock and back thigh area. This thigh toning exercise can also be done on a machine.
Exercise Instructions:
Goblet Squat
The goblet squat is super effective for engaging all of the muscles from your butt down to your feet. Because it activates all of your lower body muscles so well, it can really get your heart pounding to speed up your metabolism.
Exercise Instructions:
Side Lunge
Side lunges offer a variation over the traditional forward lunge. The sideways action with your legs allow you to work your hips, glutes and inner thighs a little differently because of the angle. The side lunge also puts less stress on your knees.
Exercise Instructions:
Bulgarian Split Squats
This is a more difficult version of a normal split squat, with your rear leg up on an incline. You can do split squats without weights by crossing your arms in front of your chest or putting them on your hips.
