Do you want Michelle Obama arms?
Of course you do.
And push-ups are the way to get those sleek, sexy, toned arms our First Lady rocks. It’s the easiest, no equipment or special location needed exercise and a great way to not just build up your arms, but your shoulders, back and core as well.
Push-ups truly are a total upper body workout.
Aww…the elusive inner thigh muscles.
Those muscles that even when you get your quads and hamstrings looking tight and sexy still manage to flap about like a turkey waddle.
I can say that my inner thighs are also the one part of my legs that never seems to want to cooperate with the rest of my leg muscles. I will have that tightest looking calves, quadriceps and hamstrings and my inner thighs will just be loose and hanging and making think I will never get in a swimsuit or have sex with the lights on again.
Ever.
However while spot reduction isn’t possible (you’re going to have to lose the weight fist before you can start toning the muscles) there are cetain exercise that ae great at targeting the entire leg with a special emphais on those hard to reach inner thigh muscles.
The Wide Leg Squat
Inner Thigh Leg Lifts
Side Step Lunges

One of the best lower body workouts – ever. Lunges will tone up your hips, thighs, glutes and have you looking like you’re Serena Williams…tight, toned and sexy.
While Lunges are a great workout, many people don’t have the proper form when doing them and can really hurt themselves. So today on Sweet Potato Pie we are going to give you step by step instructions on how to properly execute Lunges via About.com:
1. Stand in a split stance, with feet about 3 feet apart. You want both knees to be at about 90-degree angles at the bottom of the movement, so adjust accordingly.
2. Hold weights in each hand (or place a barbell behind the neck) for added intensity.
3. Bend the knees and lower the back knee toward the floor, keeping the front heel down and the knee directly over the center of the foot.
4. Keep the torso straight and abs in as you push through the front heel and back to starting position.
5. Don’t lock the knees at the top of the movement.
6. Perform 1 to 3 sets of 10 to 16 reps according to your fitness level and goals.
