Exercise Roster

Boost Your Outer Thighs: Side Leg Lifts

Lie in a perfectly straight line on your side, one leg layered over the other. Lift the upper leg towards the ceiling. Balance as you bring it back. Draw attention to your core muscles and bottom while keeping the movement smooth and consistent. Don’t forget to repeat with the other leg!

Tone the Inner Thighs: Stability Ball Squeeze

Prop up your hands and knees on a stability ball, with your feet slightly touching the ground for balance. Ensure most of your weight rests on the ball. Compress your knees together into the ball, hold the position for a moment, relax, and then repeat.

Transform Your Hips, Thighs, Calves, and Glutes: The Plie

Stand with a wider-than-shoulder-width stance, feet directed out at a 45-degree angle. Place your hands skillfully on your hips. Lower your knees to a 45-degree angle, lift your heels, all while keeping your bottom tight. Control as you descend your heels and straighten your legs. Holding on to a chair for balance might be useful for beginners.

Work Your Rear Thighs: Dumbbell Leg Curl

Rest on your stomach, forearms folded, forehead resting on them. Grip a weight between your feet, tight enough so it lies on the soles of your shoes. Squeeze your feet, curling your legs toward your bottom. Lower slowly without resting on the ground.

Focus on Calves and Ankles: Calf Raise with Dumbbells

Stand hip-width apart with a weight in each hand. Rise onto your tiptoes, your body weight evenly spread over toes. Keep shoulders relaxed and knees a little bent. Slowly, return heels to the ground after each rise.

Strengthen Legs, Arms, and Shoulders: Lunge with Punching

Start in a standing position, a weight in each hand. Keep elbows at an angle of 90 degrees, palms facing inward. Move right foot in front in a lunge, simultaneously forward punch with your left arm, then right. Step back and repeat the sequence with your left foot.
