Wonderful question I would love to hear what everyone says.....i don't know what they are called but i lay on my right side stacked and in line, point my toes and then cross my left leg slightly (letting it touch the ground) over my right and then kick my right leg up and down. The switch sides......wow re-reading tham barely makes sence....ahahaha. do you see what i am saying though?

Let me see if i can explain this in a way that's actually understandable. lol. I lay on my back with my legs straight in the air. I spread my legs open and then back up, and repeat this several times. I call it legs spreads but i doubt that's the right name for it. But my legs are almost always sore the next day so I guess that means it's working!

I did side lunges over the last few weeks and boy do you feel it. Can do with or without weights. Stand with your feet slightly apart, then step out to your right (keep your left leg straight) and lunge to as close to 90 degrees as you can get. I let my arms follow the moving leg...then using you legs and butt...push back to standing. Do 10 or so on the right side and then switch to the left.


Oh...the burn

I do what angela and longing4baby do!

Lay down on your right side and cross your top leg over, and then do "up & downies" with your bottom leg... would be how I would explain it hahaha

I'm all for squats, and lunges...I like the "around the clock" routine in prevention...forward lunge, squat, backward lunge.

this hits the whole leg, but I am also in agreement with the other ladies for inner thighs...

lay down on your side...and bend your top knee and lay it over your other leg, the straight leg, that is the one you lift up and down in a "pulse" like manner. You can add weights to make your muscle work harder...I have trouble with this position, cause I roll may back too much...

also, I have a bellow looking thing that I use to blow up my "bean" and that works great just like a "thigh master" --any ball really will work for this...

another GREAT exercise is if you have stairs....go up them sideways...and down sideways...
