Often times when people think about working out their legs and trying to sculpt their thighs they get caught up in the idea that they have to do ton of squats and lunges. While these are excellent exercises to workout your thighs, the secret to shrinking them down and toning them actually lives in working the muscles around your entire upper leg. Today’s workout does just that! We’ll work your thighs, abductors, adductors, and hamstrings in a comprehensive leg roaster! This is going to be a good one! Here we go…
Please note – while this workout is going to be killer for your thighs and upper legs, I never recommend “spot treating”. It is impossible to shrink only one particular body area by working it out. I recommend that this workout should be used in connection with a comprehensive workout plan that includes cardio and strength training for your entire body. That being said, this is a killer way to tone and tighten up your legs!
