The great thing about all the exercises I’m going to describe is they don’t require you to leave the home, go to gym, or hire a personal trainer. I’m going to provide you with a series of exercises because I strongly encourage you to mix it up both within and between workout sessions. Just make sure you don’t keep with the same workout for any length of time, for best results always mix things up. Ensure that you give yourself a break from thigh and butt workouts at least once a week, it will give them more strength for next time. Ok, here are my suggested leg and butt exercises, in no particular order:

• The Butterfly. This exercise is particularly good for your inner thighs. Begin by sitting on the floor on your butt, your knees bent, and your feet touching down on the floor. Pull your knees apart and open, with the soles of your feet facing each other. Now place your hands, palms down on the inside of your knees, and start to place mild to moderate pressure downwards on your knees. While doing this, contract your thigh muscles and slowly bring your knees back together. Essentially, there should be resistance between your inner thighs, and your hands pushing down on your knees. Now, rest your thighs and repeat over.

• The Reverse Lunge. Firstly, stand up, face forward and pull your shoulders back. Place your arms at your side. Now, with on foot take a step backwards, and make sure both of your knees are at a 90 degree angle. If you’re to keep balance, bring your arms up to act as a counter-balancing force. Make sure that your back is straight. If you find this easy, you can hold some light weights in your hands. You will have this position correct when your front knee is above your ankle. Hold for a few seconds. Now to get back into the start position, drop your arms and lift back from your front legs, ensuring that you don’t use your back leg muscles. This is one of my favourite exercise, it will yield results if you perform it regularly.

• Exercises for Everyday. Walking, running, swimming, Briskly walking up stairs, bicycle riding, and jumping rope. These exercises are highly effective for toning your legs and thighs. They also build up your overall strength and are really improve your general fitness. For jumping rope, there are many variations: one or two legs, swapping legs, and shuffles. Get creative and have fun!

• The Pillow Pusher. This is a really simple, yet effective exercise. Sit down on a chair and place a folded pillow in between your legs. To create resistance between the pillow and your thigh muscles, slowly push your knees together. Hold this position for 3 – 5 seconds and then relax for 5 seconds. Repeat. This one can be done while watching TV.

• Squats Times Two. Stand up and put your hands in the air. Squat down with your knees bending at a 90 degree angle. If you have any problems with your knees, be careful and don’t squat down too far.  Straighten your knees and return back to the standing position. Repeat. If you’d like a variation on this exercise, after squatting down, push yourself slightly forward, straighten your knees and touch your toes. After this, tilt back to the squatting down position, and then stand up again. Repeat.

These are my favorite exercises designed specifically to tone your thighs and butt. The most important advice I can give you with any exercise is that you ensure that you enjoy yourself. You will find it extremely difficult to continue toning exercises on a regular basis if you are not enjoying yourself. Come up with as many ways to make it fun as you can, ie., switching between exercises every few minutes, working out with a friend, or perhaps listening to music. It doesn’t matter, but enjoy yourself and you will get your body back. Good luck!
