[06] FITNESS: Leg Workout


Hi guys,


For today I've prepared a leg workout and some other exercices that will help you toning your thighs.

I'll start with some basic exercices for your legs:


Squats:

This will be the most common exercise when it comes to leg workouts but it's also the one that's done wrong most of the time. To do it right follow these steps: Stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips. You should stand on your whole( Fußsohle). Then breathe in, bend your knees and push your butt back. Keep your back straight and push down your shoulders, don't lift them up (that makes your spine stay straight). Your knees should be in line with your feet. Don't be too fast, rather do the squats slow but properly.


Wallsit:

Pretend as if you were sitting on a chair, keep your legs in an angle of 90 degrees, push the wall with your back and hold it for a while (30s to 60s for beginners). It will take all your body muscles.


 calf raises:

Stand with your feet a few inches apart. Push yourself up on your pad and then roll down again. Repeat


Leg lifts:

Lay on your back, stretch your legs, press them together and pull them up (ca. 45 degrees from the ground) and go back to the ground but don't touch it with your legs. Pull them up again. Repeat.



Lunges:
Stand on the ground with both feet. Make a step forward with one leg and lower your hips until both knees are bent about 90 degrees. Keep your back straight.


Hip lifts/pulses:

Lie faceup on the floor with your knees bent and stand on your heels. Raise your hips so that your thighs and upper body form a straight line. Lift one knee to your chest, then make some short pulses upwards. Change feet. Repeat.


Inner thigh pulses:

Go in the same position as described in 'hip lifts/pulses' but have both of your feet on the ground (this position is called hip bridge). Put a pillow between your knees and press your knees together in short pulses.
WORKOUT:
  • 30 sec wall sit
  • 20 hip lifts (each leg)
  • 10 leg lifts
  • 20 lunges
  • 30 inner thigh pulses
  • 15 squats
  • 10 leg lifts
  • 30 sec wall sit


Stay healthy and have fun, my lovies!
