Lower Body: Outer Thigh

Lower Body: Outer Thigh

Start:
1. Lay on your side in a straight line. Rest your head like shown to prevent neck pain/injury.
2. Hips are stacked on top of each other, feet are too!
3. (Optional) Place a weight for on your hip for added intensity.



4. LIFT YOUR WAISTBAND off the ground!!
5. Leading with the heel first, raise your leg, knee facing forward.

6. NO HIGHER THAN THIS. Waistband is still lifted off the ground
7. SQUEEZE your glute (Backside)
8. Slowly bring the leg back down, squeezing inner thighs together.
Repeat!!
*Don't forget to change sides!*
Do 14-20 reps, 2-3 sets on BOTH sides!!

  1. Dumb question . . . what do you mean by waistband?

  2. Erin!! Not dumb at all! "Waistband" literally means, lay on your side, lift your waist UP rather than push it down to the floor. Pretend a rope is tied around your waist and its pulling you up toward the ceiling! Hope that makes sense!
