4 Women’s Front Thigh Stretching Exercises
By Jesse Miller
One of the fitness goals that women envision is shaping and firming the thighs. Once a woman has a well-defined lower body, her sexiness and femininity are brought forth. This is something that boosts her esteem up aside from other things. Of course, what women want is nothing but a sexy body that lasts forever.
If diamonds are everlasting to women, their thighs must be forever firm and tight. To make that happen, here are 4 women’s front thigh stretching exercises that have made several women contented:
1. Wall Squat. Squatting is a typical way to strengthen legs and buttocks but it is particularly aimed at training the front thigh area. Begin by leaning your back against the wall. Your feet must be apart and toes pointed a little bit outwardly.
Your weight is supposed to be evenly felt on your feet. Sliding down the wall, you slowly bring your body down to squat. Inhale as you do that. Slide back up by straightening your legs with your head and chest held up as you return to the initial pose.
2. Standing Dumbbell Squat . This is another exercise for the front thighs. Hold a dumbbell that weights about 3 to 5 pounds. Your dumbbell-holding arms must be held at your sides. Spread your feet and point your toes outwardly. Your body weight should be felt by both your feet. Just like how you do it in wall squat, you bring your body down as if you are squatting on the air. Make sure your head and chest are up as you do it. This is similar to the traditional squat, only that you are holding dumbbells.
3. Lunges. This is one of the more popular exercise routines that targets front and back thighs. Stand up with your feet apart but just a bit lesser than how wide your hips are. Hold on to a barbell and bring it across your shoulders. As you make sure your back is vertically arched, stride one leg forward and bring your body down gradually until your back knee touches the floor a bit.
Bring your body back to its original position and repeat as many as you can before shifting with the other leg to stride forward and the other knee to touch the floor. If in case you’ve had knee problems before, consult with your gym instructor before doing the lunges.
4. Lying Face Down. Obviously, you are to lie with your face down. Your legs are to be put together as you extend your arms behind you. You grab your right ankle using your left hand and get your right heel up as far as possible. Hold on to this position for 30 seconds and feel the stretch in your thighs.
Stretching, sculpting and firming your legs can be done using the abovementioned exercises. Would you pass out for these means that will possibly make your legs a lot sexier?
