The Best Exercises to Get Tight Thighs and a Exellent Gultes Without Having to Pay For It
|
The best exercises you can do for your thighs are always bodyweight or free weight exercises and the also have the benifit of being free. All you need to master are a few different types of leg exercises like squats, step-ups, lunges and deadlift, which you can modify in different ways to get the hard toned thighs you want. With these exercises and hundreds of varieties to choose from which are highly effective exercises, buying expensive and relatively pointless machines is a total waste of your time and money. Allow me to show you one of my favourite types of a favourite thigh exercise, the lunge. Most people have done lunges before, if you haven't I suggest you try them, but there are many other types your can try that all work very well. One of the top types of lunge for me, and probably the most hated by my clients while they do them (loved when they get the results they want) is the walking Lunge. With traditional Lunges you stand in the same place but lunge in either a forward or backwards direction and come straight back to your starting position, with walking lunges you simply lunge forward come up onto your from foot and swap legs moving forward for a set distance then turning around and coming back. You can challenge yourself by using a weight to make the lunges more difficult or by simply walking for a longer distance doing more steps. When they are done correctly, they are a highly effective bum and thigh exercise. When doing walking lunges you should: 1- Walk forward enough so that your front shin stays about vertical and your front thigh is almost parallel to the ground at the bottom of the step 2- The leg that is following you should have a bend in the knee at the bottom but your knee should just come short of hitting the ground. Do not touch the back knee to the ground during these exercises. 3- Pause a second at the top of each lunge before lunging forward again. Once you have this walking lunge mastered, you can try these variations to change the focus and to work the outer thighs, inner thighs and your behind in a slightly different way. You can: Step on angle slightly out with each step Step slightly in with each step (sometimes called a cross over lunge this exercise really stretches out the hips and behind) Have a go of these types of the traditional lunge exercise, and feel how effective these exercises are at toning and tightening your thighs. You will never have to use one of those swanky, useless thigh machines again, as you will find that using these free weight and bodyweight exercises are just as, if not much more effective without the price tag.
