THIN THIGH WORKOUT

 

  • Repeat each exercise until you feel the burn, once you feel the burn do 5 more. If you see an exercise being done on one side, you’ll have to do the same number of reps with your other leg, too.  Also, try to max out at 30 reps.  You can add ankle weights to make it more challenging, too if you want.
  • Do one full round of all of the exercises to complete one set.
  • Do 3 full sets of all of the thigh exercises to finish the workout.

When you’re done with this workout, leave me a comment to let me know which thigh exercise you felt the most.
