Beatiful thighs in 30 Days Using Exercise Videos

If you have ever looked at a dancers legs and thought “If only my legs could be that toned and beautiful, then I could were shorts?” Well, you are in luck! Using lunges and squats it is possible by using exercise videos. These exercises are what people have been using for years to develop tone and definition in their lower body without developing bulk. In a nutshell, both lunges and squats are a great overall exercise for the lower body, but lunges mostly works the back of the leg (hamstrings) and squats works the front of the legs (quadriceps) and the butt (gluteus). But using bad form can lead to injuries like bad knees and pulled muscles, so focusing on technique is always more important than how hard to workout.

For a squat, stand with your knees soft – not bent, but not locked. Push your weight back into your heels. If you can lift your toes, you know you weight is back into the back of your foot. Now lower your hips slightly – pushing the hips back and leaning forward a bit. Sometimes it is helpful to rest your hands on your thighs when starting out. Now, hold this position – can you lift your toes? If not, you have shifted the weight back forward and you are at risk of hurting your knees. If you like, put a chair to your side so you can hold on for balance and try again this time keeping the weight of your body back in your heels. Great! Now repeat the move until you feel a bit of fatigue, probably between 8 to 15 times. And if you can do two or three sets, more power to you!
