Nice Gams!


You know the type. Everytime you make it to the gym you see one of the gym rats sitting on the outer thigh and inner thigh machine mindlessly pushing their legs out or in. Most of the time they aren’t doing anything but sitting there. Everytime I see them I think why should you sit for your workout when you’ve been sitting all day already?  Basically when you sit your core doesn’t work to it’s best capacity. That means you aren’t using it. Think about it...why would you do a exercise that requires you to just squeeze your inner thighs together? It’s not very functional. When do you do that in real life (keep your thoughts clean people)?  Don’t you want to be able to live your life with exhuberance? Probably most of the sassy fun activities you like to do are done standing. I want to share with you some ways you can sculpt some seriously sexy thighs without wasting time on the machines.
Let me start by saying that I’m not a big fan of performing isolated inner thighs exercises so I never make my clients or myself for that matter do them. I perfer dynamic moves. Performing isolated inner thigh moves is time consuming and unless there’s a valid reason for it, like, rehabilitating an injured muscle or improving certain body areas because of neglect and not being trained efficiently like the rest you shouldn’t be doing them. Your inner thighs are small muscles and in order to rev up your metabolism you have to use your entire leg to make things happen.
Here are some of my fav thigh moves that will have you scupting those lovely thighs in no time. The good news is there are only 3 moves so it’ll take you less than 8 min. Come 4 months from now you can rock those short shorts with style.

Wide Squat
(A) Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and toes pointed out to 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock.

(B) Slowly lower for two counts into a squat position. Hold the squat for one count, then straighten your legs for two counts to go back to the starting position.

This next one is a killer. It hurts so good

Small V pile
Begin with heels touching and toes slightly turned out. (A) Keeping heels together, rise up onto your toes. (Hold on to a wall if you feel wobbly, but maintain posture.)

(B) Bend your knees into a half squat for two counts, then come back up in two counts, keeping heels together.

This is an all time Favorite

Squat With A Ball
(A) Position your feet shoulder-width apart with toes pointed straight ahead. Place a medium rubber ball (or a knotted beach towel) between your legs just above the knees.

(B) Squeezing your inner thighs to keep the ball steady, lower into a squat for two counts. Hold for one, then return to standing for two counts
