With the advent of mini skirts, women were striving to make their legs slimmer. Walking is extremely beneficial, but, unfortunately, it will not save you from cellulite and loose muscles. In order to wear short shorts in the summer and not hesitate to appear on the beach in a bikini, regularly do simple but effective exercises.
Instructions
Step 1
Stretch your hamstrings every night to make your calves less bulky. Alternate stretching with walking on your toes. Then you can not only make your legs slimmer, but also get a beautiful relief.
Step 2
Avoid using the elevator during the day, preferring the stairs. In general, walk up the incline as much as possible.
Step 3
Squat whenever possible. The good thing about this exercise is that it can be done both at home and during breaks at work. Spread your legs as wide as possible, turn your feet to the sides. Keeping your back straight, lower yourself into plié and linger below for a couple of seconds. Extend your knees slowly as you inhale. Thanks to daily squats, you can get leaner legs in a week.
Step 4
For those with a sedentary job, the following exercise will be very helpful. As soon as you feel that the muscles are numb, stand up, bring your legs together, and roll from heel to toe for a minute. This exercise not only helps to tighten the leg muscles, but also prevents varicose veins.
Step 5
Learn to jump rope. This simple action, even if you devote 10 minutes a day to it, will bring you closer to the desired ideal of legs and raise the general tone of the body.
Step 6
Perform wide side sweeps with straight knees several times a day. A similar exercise can be performed both in an upright position, resting your hand on a wall for balance, and lying on your side, leaning on your elbow.
Step 7
The inner leg muscles are the most difficult to tighten. To work out this moody area, lie on your side with your upper leg bent at the knee and placing it in front of your lower leg. Lift your lower leg off the floor and swing it lightly for 90 seconds. The more small swings you make in a given period of time, the more the muscles of the inner thigh will be tense.
Step 8
Sit on the floor with your knees bent at right angles. Bring your feet together, and place the elbows of both hands between the knees. As you exhale, begin to press with your elbows on the inside of your knees with force, and resist with all your strength with your legs. This exercise allows you to quickly tighten your leg muscles from the inside.
Step 9
A very simple and familiar exercise "bicycle". At first, it can be done in the "birch" pose. As the muscles strengthen, keep your feet closer to the floor. This will not only engage your hips, but your glutes as well.
Step 10
Performing this complex every day for 20-30 minutes, you will gain shapely legs in a week.
