How to Have Sexy Legs With These Simple Leg Exercises
There are many people out there, men and women who blame themselves when it comes to the condition of their legs. They fail to realise that this doesn’t have to be the case. As our legs are one of the most important parts of our body we should take good care of them after all, it is our legs that take us here and there, and they never complain. So shouldn’t we be good to them? Yes, as it is our legs that will still take us up and down the stairs and around the house years in the future. Not only that, leg health is also vital in case of illness which may leave you bedridden. Did you know that bedridden patients who did not have healthy legs prior to their illness are twice more likely to suffer from Deep vein Thrombosis (DVT)? Even if you may not end up in a hospital bed or be down with illness that forces you to stay in bed, it is good for you to make sure your legs stay healthy so that your mind will be more at ease.
First let us learn more about our legs. Legs are made up of six major muscles and muscle groups. First, the muscles in front of your thighs are known as the quadriceps. And opposite these quadriceps are your hamstrings. Inside your thighs are the adductors. The muscles at the lower parts of your legs are known as the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (in the back of your legs) and the tibialis anterior muscle (in the front of your legs). Your legs and hipbones are connected to your spine through the hip flexors and the illiopsoas. Now, can you imagine how all these muscles need to work in perfect harmony to make sure that you can walk or run, or point your toes, or stand on tiptoes, bend your knees and so on? If your muscles are strong and conditioned well, you should have no problem whatsoever. But what if your muscles get weak? They will sag and you may face problems like varicose or spider veins in your legs. Although they do not pose any danger to you, they can be very uncomfortable and unsightly, as they never disappear if left on their own. Most times, a doctor needs to treat varicose and spider veins either through the use of a laser or a saline solution injection. Now don’t you think you should keep your legs healthy? If they are in the best of health, you will be able to prevent up to 95% of all varicose and spider veins.
One of the best decisions that you can make is to maintain strong and healthy legs. And the good news is that most of the leg muscles are among the fastest to respond to any sort of conditioning. This means that you can see results in fewer days compared to exercising other parts of your body. For toning, the best choice would be aerobic exercise, but to really condition and tone the best answer would be to do concentrated work on the muscle groups so that you can shape the individual muscles. Some of your muscles are rarely used, like our adductors. They can be a challenge to tone, but not impossible to do. So to get the maximum results in your leg muscles, you should try to work out your muscles three times in a week. If you can get in four to five sessions a week, even better as you will be able to see results faster. However three sessions a week is fine to start with.
The mother of all leg conditioning moves is the lunge. Many trainers swear by it and their clients are placed on lunging paces many (think thousands) times daily. Know why? Well, the lunge is the one movement that can target most of your major leg muscles and can shape them up real fast. How’s that for a great move? In lunging down, you will utilise your lower leg muscles as well as your upper leg muscles. Your lower leg muscles will stabilise you during the movement, while your upper leg muscles will raise your body back up. Lunging over and over will condition your muscles to take on the strongest form possible. A word of caution though. For people with bad knees, lunging can be difficult or even impossible for you as the strain will be placed on your knee joints. Never force your body to do something that can cause you pain. Instead, modify the movement and try going down halfway or as far as you are comfortable. Do not go down all the way of you cannot do so. Also when stepping forward in the beginning, try not to step too far forward. This can take off some of the strain placed on your knee joints. Or some people, the only solution is to not do lunges at all. Not to worry, there are still many ways that you can choose to strengthen your legs and to condition your muscles without placing that extra strain on your knees.
If lunging is not for you then another great option is the squat. Squats are great especially for firming and toning the buttocks as well as the upper thighs. When you squat, you place a greater demand on your buttocks and leg muscles at both times, while going down and standing up. Now imagine that demand being intensified by 20 times for several sessions a week. Wouldn’t that be great for toning and strengthening? Defined muscles are what you will get. To work out the inner and outer thighs, you can also go for lateral raises. First, stand with your weight on your left foot and with your right foot pointed slightly behind you. Then, hold on to a chair or a wall to keep your balance. Now, slowly raise your right leg out to the side and lower it back again. It doesn’t matter much how high you raise your legs as what matters is for you to make your muscles work. Do this for 20 repetitions at 3 sets for several times a week to tone the back of your thighs and your hips. Toning the inner thigh is more challenging than this. Normally utilised in climbing stairs, your inner thighs are prone to get flabby if you don’t make them exercise. To condition your inner thighs, again stand with your weight on your left foot and your right foot raised and pointed in front of you. Now slowly move your right foot and leg across your left leg. Can you feel the stress in your inner thighs? If you don’t feel any stress, what you can do is to turn your leg so that your inner thigh faces up towards the ceiling. Now sweep your leg back and forth across each other. You can repeat for 3 sets of 20 repetitions.
Having strong and healthy legs is a reward. And it is worth the effort that you put in as the leg muscles respond fast without you having to put in weeks and weeks of work. Be creative. Incorporate the lunges and squats into your daily schedule like when brushing your teeth, vacuuming the carpet, doing the laundry, and you will be surprised at how easy it is to shape and tone your legs!
