Slim down your legs right now! Trim and tone the outer thighs! Take a little time today for you. Use that little time to work your outer thigh muscles. These large muscle groups sometimes rarely get worked. No more unwanted fat. No more unwanted jiggly. Time to exercise! Stand up nice and tall. Use a chair or the wall for balance. Raise the right leg using your outer thigh muscles. Lift the leg as high as possible. Lead with the heel of your foot for a more concentrated workout. Release the right leg back down. Switch legs and repeat. Remember to stay tall. Really use your outer thigh to lift and squeeze. Raise each leg for an awesome outer thigh workout!
Now try it! Standing tall and with the help of a chair or the wall, slowly raise the right leg up for 2 counts. Squeeze up top and release back down for 2 counts. Do this 20 times. Repeat on the left side. Complete at least 3 sets. Feel the burn on that second and third set. Your outer thighs and glutes will be on fire but the results will be so sweet!
Add this exercise to your lower body workout! Get ready for summer with sexy legs!

The Olympic speed sport of short track captures crowds! This sport is fast and crazy! People pushing and falling. Have you ever looked at the size of Apolo Ohno’s legs?! They are huge! Speed skaters squat and lunge deep into their legs. They use leg strength and stamina to stay in the race and to possibly win! These athletes use mass amount of muscle in the qauds, glutes, hamstrings, inner thighs, and outer thighs. That’s why these muscles are so huge for these athletes. You too can have strong legs with the sliding side lunge exercise. Get a towel if you do the exercise on a hard surface or a magazine (or something like this) if you do the exercise on carpet. Place the towel under the right foot. Bend the left foot at the knee and slide out the right foot. Really lunge into that left side. Your butt should be extended back. Quad should be parallel to the ground. Don’t extend the knee past the ankle. Slide the right leg back in. Switch sides. Feel the burn in your entire lower body as you slide and lunge! Speed skate short track style with the sliding side lunge!
Now try it! Get your towel ready! Time to slide! Form is vital to reap all the benefits of this exercise. Bend the left knee and slide the right foot out for 2 counts. Slide the foot back in for 2 counts. Do this 20 times. Switch sides and repeat. Complete at least 3 sets. Challenge yourself by lunging lower to the ground, adding a pair of light dumbbells, and/ or doing more sets. Work the butt, the hams, the quads, the inner and outer thighs!
Watch the Olympics and get inspired! Add this exercise to your lower body workout! Get fit legs right now!!
