Getting great legs
With summer fast approaching and the warm weather on it's way, now's the perfect time to start toning up...
5 Ways To Get Great Legs...
- Squats. To work your thighs and butt, stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Bend your knees until you're almost sitting. Hold. Lift yourself up.
- Lunges. Stand with your hands on your hips. Take a big step forward and power your yourself down so your knee is bent and aligned right over your foot. Hold for a second and bring yourself back. Repeat with the other leg. Do 3 sets of 10-15 per leg.
- Get a pair of the new unique "Fitflops".
- Vary your training each week. So cycling or sprinting, jogging or even swimming are all great ways to aid your work-outs at the gym.
- Always warm up before exercise (jogging or walking) and stretch down after.
How do Fitflops work?
Well, several leading studies have shown that wearing Fitflops actually extends the amount of time that your slow twitch muscles are engaged during each step by between 10-12%. So, just by wearing them, walking to work, working around the house or shopping and you'll feel and see the benefit. Fitflops have even been clinically proven to increase the amount of time that the gluteus maximus muscle is activated during walking...meaning they work your bum muscles more.
