Getting in shape is far easier than many people believe. To be successful, you need to be consistent and patient. As many of us wish, it does not happen overnight.
In today’s article, we’ll show you the best exercises for sculpting lean thighs. Simply perform 10 to 15 reps of each exercise in the order listed below.
Basic Leg Lift
Position yourself so that your right arm is supporting your head while you lie on your side with your right leg bent. Raise your left leg straight out as far as you can. Lower your leg back without letting it touch the floor, and do it again. When you’re finished, switch sides and repeat the exercise.
Leg Lift With Knee-In
Lie on your right side, legs outstretched, right elbow bent, and right hand supporting your head. Bring your right leg forward slightly and bend the knee about 90 degrees. Engage your outer thigh to lift your left leg 45 degrees off the ground, keeping your shoulders and hips stacked, abs tight, left leg straight, and toes pointed. Bend your left knee as you bring it in toward your core, without dropping your leg. Then, with control, return the leg to the air and lower it until your toes are inches from the floor. That is one rep.
Pike Leg Pulses
Position yourself so that your right arm is supporting your head while you lie on your side with your right leg bent. Direct your leg in front of your body and, as with the first exercise, lift it as high as you can.
Pike Knee-Ins
As you lie on your side, lift your left leg in front of your body and kick slowly instead of lifting up and down. Repeat on the other side.
Split Leg Lifts
Position yourself on the floor with one leg in the air and one arm holding it. Lift the other leg until your feet touch while holding one leg up in the air.
