Do you desire an immaculately in shape body? Want to be the envy of all of your friends at the next big party? Well use the following 7 tricks to not only get your body in shape but be the talk of the entire town, guaranteed!
1. Thigh Toning Titan- Tones and Trims those thighs when nothing else will work. This is an isometric exercise that tames and tightens your thighs even if you already are seeing the dreaded condition known as “Thunder Thighs”. You will need a bar stool or straight chair with straight legs. Sit on the floor with your back against a wall. The stool should be positioned between your feet. Lift your legs and feet 4-6 inches from the floor. Angle your feet so your insteps are firmly positioned against the legs of the stool. Now exert as much pressure with your feet as possible. Hold for a count of 30- 60. Repeat 6 times.
2. Jack Kicks- Kick your way to a better, booty-licious backside. Well, the name may not sound that impressive but if you want that perfectly round, tight booty this is the exercise that works. Assume a hands and knees position. Your palms should be resting on the floor. Keep your back straight. Now lift your (R( leg up and backwards with a tightly controlled kicking motion. When your leg is fully extended upward the bottom of the foot points toward the ceiling. Return to the starting position and then repeat with the other leg for a total of 25-50 for each leg.
3. Saddle Bag Stripper- This exercise is great for targeting your upper and outer thighs. This exercise will deminish the appearance of cottage cheese and other unsightly lumps and bumps on your legs. Simply lay on your (R) side, supporting your upper body at a 45 degree angle with your elbow. Keep (R) leg straight and place your (L) foot flat on the floor directly in front of the (R) knee. Now lift your (R) leg slowly up and down 25 times. Change position and repeat with the your left leg.
4. Glute Glamourizer- This will firm and lift your butt and tone your legs. Stand with feet separated about the width of your shoulders. Your toes should be angled outward. Put your hands on your hips and rise up on your toes. Staying balanced on your toes, lower your body 1″inch and hold for the count of 10. Lower your body an additional 1″ and hold for the count of 10. Continue to lower your body by 1″ and holding for 10 for a total of 10 times.
5. Lean Leggy Peggies- This exercise gives you leaner, tighter legs. Place your hands on the back of a chair for balance. Keep your body erect and feet slightly apart. Toes should pointed inward. Lift (R) leg slowly 4-6 inches straight out to the side . Do 25 reps and then repeat using (L) leg.
6. Tricep Trainers- Get rid of that fat around your arm that will wave goodbye when you wave goodbye with your hand. Begin by standing erect while holding 3 pound weights. Lift your arms straight up overhead. Your arms should be alongside your head. .Slowly extend the weights backward over your shoulders until elbows point to the ceiling. Return to starting position repeat 30 times.
7. Belly Bustin’ Berthas- These crunches will have your stomach hurting today but flat tomorrow. Lie flat floor hands behind the neck. Pull your abdomen in and roll your upper chest upward from the floor . Twist your torso from the waist so the (R) elbow points toward the (L) knee and the (L) elbow points toward the (R) knee. Return to starting position and do at least 20 reps. The more you do the better
