The time and money required for a gym membership or other expensive programs may be too much for some people. We couldn’t agree with you more; you can certainly work on yourself in the comfort of your own home if you’re committed to getting better.
This is the ideal place for you if you want to lose weight in your thighs and legs. In today’s article, we’ll show you some easy exercises that focus on that area, and the best part is, you can do them at home!
If you choose to engage in these activities, which should take no more than 20 minutes of your time, aim for consistency.
SQUATS
To begin, stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart and your chest lifted.
Stretch out your arms in front of you to stabilize yourself.
Start by sitting and then rising, as if you were seated in an imaginary chair. Put your head and face forward.
As you lower your torso, your thighs should be parallel to the ground. You need to put your full weight on your heels. To return to the starting position, keep your body stiff and push up through your heels.
Do 12 reps.
DUMBBELL LUNGE
The first step is to stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and a dumbbell in each hand.
Then, taking a step forward with one leg, bend your knees until your back knee is almost touching the floor.
Finally, bring back your body to the starting position.
Then repeat with the other leg.
Rep 10 times with each leg.
PLANK WITH LEG RAISES
Get into a plank stance with your hands spaced shoulder-wide. Maintain a straight line from your shoulders to your hips to your ankles.
Keep your abs engaged and raise your right leg off the floor to around hip height. Keep your right foot flexed.
Pause to feel the burn. After then, bring your right leg back to the ground.
Rep with your other leg. Complete 12 reps.
SINGLE-LEG DEADLIFT
Spread your feet about hip-width apart and grip a dumbbell in each hand by your sides.
Lean forward and extend your arms toward the ground, stretching one leg behind you until your body is parallel to the ground.
Return to your original starting position.
Do 12 to 20 repetitions with each leg.
CALF RAISES
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and dumbbells in both hands. (While you can perform this exercise without dumbbells, you will see far better results if you use them.)
Get as high as you can while only using the balls of your feet. After a few seconds of holding the pose, return to the starting position. This is a repetition.
Perform 25 to 40 reps total.
GLUTE BRIDGE
Initially, you should be lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
Form a straight line from your shoulders to your knees by raising your hips off the ground.
When you’ve reached that position, take a deep breath and slowly lower your body to the floor.
Perform two 12 second sets.
WALL SQUAT
Begin by standing two feet away from a wall with your back to it.
Slide your back down the wall until your knees and hips are at a 90-degree angle.
Turn your shoulders, upper back, and back of your head to face the wall.
Your weight should be evenly distributed on the ground, and both feet should be level.
Keep the position for the amount of time that was given.
Do 2 sets of 15 seconds reps.
