Exercise Tips

I know a lot of ladies have spoken to recently regards to toning your legs, here's one exercise which you can try:

So if you want those toned, slender legs here we go!

great for working buttocks, quads and hamstring ( front and back of thighs)

Ensure you have a warm up first:

• Use a box step / or the bottom of your stairs
• start off in a lunge position off the step
• keep an upright position
• relaxed shoulders 
• hands on hips
• ensure your front leg knee does not go over your toes if it does then you need to take a wider step forward
• the main action is in the back legs
• as you lower your back leg, ensure you keep your upright position
• knee should be just above the floor, be careful not to hurt your knee against the floor
• on the up faze bring your knee up towards the chest and then lunge back into position.
• you may need a wall for balance to start off with
• to make this exercise a little more challenging try hold hand weights once you are good at balance

Only do this exercise if you have been doing lunges already, if you are just getting to lunges, the only difference in exercise would be to take out the step and not to bring you knee to your chest, back to basic lunges.

Let us know how you get on!
