Below are the 2 best exercises for slimming the thighs and also will help to firm and shape your butt.
These exercises should be performed s-l-o-w-l-y to get the most benefits from them.
Under Leg Lifts
*Lie on one side on the floor. Place a pillow under the head to make sure the spine is aligned.
*Bend the leg closest to the ceiling and move it to the floor in front so that the other leg is exposed to the ceiling.
*Move the newly exposed leg toward the ceiling.
Hold that position for a few seconds. Put the leg down.
Repeat this exercise as many times as needed, but hold it for no longer than thirty seconds on each rep to begin with. Take a thirty second break before switching sides. Repeat the exercise again. For a challenge, hold the under leg for longer periods of time. Adjust the timing of each side of the body to accommodate the new challenge.
Upper Leg Lifts
*Lie on one side on the floor. Place a pillow under the head to ensure alignment of the spine.
*From the lying position, lift the leg closest to the ceiling so that it extends to the side of the body.
*Bring the leg to its original position and repeat the process.
Repeat as many times as needed, but for no more than thirty seconds. Take a thirty second break before switching sides.
For a greater challenge, purchase an elastic training band. Place one end of the band around each ankle. The bottom leg will serve as an anchor to provide some resistance as the top leg is extended.
