Buns and thighs. I know, those are the trouble spots. people want to tone and loose fat, but not spend 2 hours a day doing it. So let’s get efficient. What we want to do is hit the major muscle groups with high volume to create the highest anaerobic endocrine response, and burn the most calories all at once. By combining high volume with high heart rates you can slim down an area faster than you ever imagined. Even if you feel that area is too bulky with left over muscle from a life of sports in your past.
A lot of women are worried about bulking, but with a workout like this, all you do is lean out. It creates deep dense muscle and stimulates your metabolism to kick you into fat burning over drive!!
Here’s the best part, all you need, is you!
Start by briskly walking or jogging around the block to warm up. if the weather is bad try jogging up and down the stairs a few times in your home.
ok, now let’s get serious!
Alternating reverse lunges – 15 each leg
directly into
Standing lunge – 15 each leg, one leg at a time
Body weight 1 1/2 squats – 20 total (full squat, up half way, back down and then all the way up for one rep)
Walking high step ups – 20 steps total (go up a flight of steps 2 steps at a time)
Loose leaf hamstring curls – 20 total (get a piece of loose leaf paper or computer paper. lie on your back, knees bent and feet flat on the paper. Lift your hips and keep them lifted, now extend you legs and slide them back in.)
For Advanced – Add in a set of 20 split squat plyometrics, followed by a three stair two foot jump up a flight of stairs 15 times. Please note these are advanced exercises. If you’ve never worked out before take it slow!
You want to take minimal (30-45 sec) rest in between each exercise never letting your legs fully recover. Run through this short series of thigh thinners three times. Your heart rate will be up and your legs will be burnin’!
If this is done right in combination with a great nutrition plan and consistent exercise your legs will be looking like a million bucks!!
