Alright ladies, if you’re like me then yout thighs are your problem area. For me they are the first area of my body to put on weight and the last place it wants to come off. With that said, finding exercises that will thin my thighs and not bulk them up is also a challenge.
I’ve learned if my cardio is not n point I need to leave the squats, leg press, leg extensions alone because I end up looking like Xena Warrior Woman since I’m not losing fat, but putting on muscle. However when the cardio is on point, squats are some of the best exercise you can do. The Ball Squat is one of my favorites. From Fitnessmagazine.com:
* Place an exercise ball between the wall and the curve of your lower back.
* Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
* Bend your knees and lower 5 to 10 inches, keeping your shoulders level and your hips square. Hold this position for 3 seconds and then stand back up.
* Start with 5 reps and work up to 12. Rest for 30 seconds and do another set.
