5 Exercises for Killer Thighs
Sponsored
If you are hoping to be in great shape for the summer, now is the time to start. I love exercising with my Personal Trainer and Kinesiologist, George Gianniotis, a.k.a Trainer George who is a master at coming up with kooky exercises that seem funny at the time, but you definitely feel the burn later. He has put together a bunch of workouts targeting every large muscle group, but for now let's start with the area we love to hate the most. *Sigh* thighs. Please note all exercises are intermediate level.
Lateral Lunge
Step into a side lunge while keeping both feet pointing forward. Bend the outside knee while keeping the inside knee straight. Repeat on the other side.
Do 3 sets of 12 per side.
Muscles targeted: Abductors, adductors, glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors, hips, legs, quadriceps
Squats
Feet shoulder width apart, flex at the knees until thighs are parallel with the ground.
Do 3 sets of 12.
