Thigh Exercises

On May 31, 2011, in Better ways to workout, Legs, Man vs Machine, by admin

Well recently I have personally become interested in thigh exercises as I want to increase the strength of my legs. Visions of Suzanne Somers immediately come to mind but I have been seeking non-machine exercise. Not that there is anything wrong with Suzanne Somers! As you can see from the photo below!

Health and fitness, and medical experts dismiss the concept of “spot reduction,” so you may use the ThighMaster to strengthen your abductors and adductors (inner and outer thighs) without actual loss of fat in the thighs. As the product review on the Excercise Equipment Review says…”Used consistently the Thigh Master will tone and strengthen your muscles in your thighs and other areas. But if they are still hidden under a layer of fat you won’t see much difference. Combine the Thigh Master with some aerobic exercise and a sensible diet and you’re on to a winner!”

In addition when it comes to thighs exercises, basic free weight movements are going to serve you better.

Some people think that in order to tone the thighs, there is a need to do a lot of aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is great for reducing body fat, but when performed as the only form of exercise, it is relatively ineffective for improving thighs.

To increase your progress towards the thighs you really want, you must perform strength training exercise  based around free weights.

The most effective free weight based thighs exercises are 1) Thigh Squats, 2) DB Lunges, 3) Barbell Lunges, 4) DB Step ups, 5) Leg Press, 6) Leg Curls, 7) Straight Leg Deadlift.

Often a woman may think that her legs will take on pro-bodybuilder dimensions when she uses weight training in the overall exercise. Not true!  What will happen is that the thighs quickly begin to tone up and slim down and you can see results in as little as 10 days..
