One
of the fastest ways to lose unwanted weight and fat is to gain
metabolism-raising muscles on your legs, say experts. Fitness professional
Althea Shah, who is also a part of a gym chain, explains that muscles help burn
more calories. She says, “To develop thighs, you’ll need to train quadriceps
and the hamstrings.’’ You will be able to see definite results with regular
exercise at least 2-3 times a week, along with consistent cardiovascular
activities like brisk walking, jogging or swimming, state fitness
professionals.
However,
a balanced and healthy diet is also a must. You will not be able to sculpt your
body without the ideal combination of right exercise, cardio and diet. Fitness
professionals Althea and Mamtha Joshi, share some exercises that work your
thighs.
WIDE SQUAT
This exercise concentrates on
your inner thigh muscles.
Stands
with your feet a little wider apart than your shoulders and then bend till your
knees at a 45-degree angle. Tighten your thighs and hold for 5seconds and stand
back up. Keep your back straight for good posture (15-25times, 2-3 sets). A
variation is the squats with a medicine ball. Put the ball on your thigh and be
in the squat position. Do repetition of sets (20 into 3).
LUNGES
Both
knees will need to be at about 90- degree angles at the bottom of the movement while
doing this move, so adjust accordingly. Hold weights in each hand for added
intensity if you wish. Start with your feet together. Step forward with your
right leg, keeping your back straight, and bend your knees until your right
knees forms a 90-degree angle. Hold this position for 5 counts; push back with
your leg and return to start position. (15-25 lunges on each side, 2-3 sets).
WALKING LUNGES
It works your quadriceps, your
hamstrings, and the thighs—start by
standing upright, then lunge forward with one leg, but don’t let your knee gofurther
than your toe. Then when you get to the bottom of the lunge, use the back leg
to get back to the standing position. For starters, it is best to do it without
weights, but once you get the hang of it, it can be done with weights, for even
better results.
HAMSTRINGS CURL
This exercise helps tone up
your hamstrings.
Lie
down on a yoga mat on your stomach; keep your legs and feet together at all
times during this exercise. Strap an ankle weight on each leg(approximately 3-5
pounds each). Start by keeping your legs and feet on the ground, then bend your
legs at the knees and bring them to your hips as close as possible. Hold for 10
seconds and then bring them back down, but do not let your feet or legs touch
the ground. Repeat 10 times for each set and do three sets continuously every
day.
