No-one, I repeat no-one, has ever stated to me that a fitness goal of theirs was to develop a softer butt and less toned legs! The trouble is, people are spending more and more time in front of their computers and plasma-screen TVs. The impact of this, in addition to individuals burning fewer calories, is that hip muscles, glutes and hamstrings become weak which in-turn disrupts the muscular balance of the body. This can cause pain and injuries to the knees, hips, and lower back.
So what can you do to firm-up your backside and sculpt lean and toned legs? Perform the following exercises:
Hip Raises (targets glutes and hamstrings)
Dumbbell Lunges (targets quads)
Swiss-Ball Hip Raise and Leg Curls (targets glutes and hamstrings)
Sumo Squats (targets quads)
Each exercise should be performed for 12 repetitions and done in sets of 2 or 3. For best results, do each exercise a minimum of two times weekly in conjunction with your cardiovascular routine!
