Thin thighs like this! 2. Raise your legs to change your posture and tighten your lines

Long periods of sitting and lack of exercise in the office make your thighs bigger? The fitness coach said that, in fact, it is not as difficult as imagined to get rid of bloated elephant legs and have a pair of well-proportioned and enviable thighs. In addition to controlling your diet, getting up and walking around more often and increasing your exercise, it is a good training method to moderately perform the two leg-lifting moves and change your posture before going to bed and in your spare time to exercise the core muscles on the outside of your thighs!

Are there standards for sexy thighs? The best circumference of the thigh is 32% of the total height.

Although the standard of "sexy" is a matter of opinion, according to the standard values ​​​​derived from the statistics of the Asian women's body shape by the Society of Plastic Surgeons, the thigh circumference of women is about 32% of the total height, which seems to be most appropriate. That is to say, for an adult woman who is 160 cm tall, her thigh circumference should be maintained at 51.2 cm, which is the most slender and fit visually.

There is a trick to firm thighs! 2. Change the leg lift to exercise the outer thigh core muscles

But what should you do if you want to make your loose thighs firm again? Lee Ki-sung, a well-known Korean fitness coach, wrote in his book "Women Must Train Their Core Muscles!" The book "One trick a day, seven days to get a sexy waist and sweet thighs" mentions that moderate training of the core muscles on the outside of the thigh is the key to maintaining the symmetrical curves of the legs! A good way to tighten your leg lines is to do the "side-lying leg lift" or "four-legged kneeling side leg lift" to strengthen the inner thigh muscles that are rarely used.

[Side-lying leg raise]

Number of exercises: 15 times.

Number of repetitions: 3 sets.

1. Inhale, lie on your side with your hands supporting your head. At this time, bend the leg on the ground to 90 degrees, and lift the other leg and straighten it.

2. Exhale, slowly raise the upper leg to a position slightly higher than the head and exhale, making sure to keep the ankle fixed.

3. Inhale and slowly lower your legs until they are almost touching the ground, then exhale and lift your legs up again.

POINT: If the legs are raised too high, the exercise effect of the thighs will be reduced. It is recommended to find the appropriate height where you can feel the thigh muscles being stimulated.

NG: If you lift your leg too high, the angle of your ankle will shift and different muscles will be used.

[Kneeling on all fours and raising your legs sideways]

Number of exercises: 15 times on each side.

Number of repetitions: 3 sets.

1. Inhale, support yourself with your knees and hands while kneeling, with one leg extended to the side of your body.

2. Exhale, be careful not to let your body's center of gravity lean too far to one side, and lift the leg that is stretched to the side.

POINT: If the movement is performed too quickly, the leg kneeling on the ground will be burdened in order to stabilize the body's center of gravity. It is recommended to maintain the posture with the body slightly tilted toward the raised leg.

NG: If you raise your legs too high, your body's center of gravity will fall backward, reducing the effectiveness of the exercise.
