Many people want to have beautiful thighs. Unfortunately, to keep them in good shape requires long and hard work. Here are some exercises that are sure to help you work out your thighs. Cross Lunges This deep stretch will improve your thighs and give you energy. Spread your legs and point your feet outward. Bending your knees, lower yourself into a squat position. Put the palms on your hips above your knees to deepen the squat and stretch further. Jump up and put your feet in front of each other, straightening and crossing your legs as you land. Get back to the position from the start and repeat the actions with the opposite leg. Repeat this exercise as many times as possible, alternating between the two legs, for at least 40 seconds. Knee Squats Knee squats together are better to strengthen the inner thighs, quads, and hamstrings than regular squats. And to avoid wasting time, you can work your arms at the same time. Stand up straight with your feet together. Pick up some dumbbells, bend your arms at the elbows, and bring them into contact with your shoulders. Perform squats with your knees bent and your hips pulled back as if you were going to sit on a chair. Keep your feet together throughout the exercise holding the weight on your heels. Now extend your arms upward. Return to the start without transferring the weight to your toes. Do 10 repetitions. Elbow Plank Leg Lift Add leg lifts to the regular elbow plank to improve hip work. Lie on your side, and bend your right arm at the elbow leaning on it. Stretch your leg so that your body is in a straight line. Try to lean only on the outer edge of your right leg. Place your left hand on your hip. Feel your spine stretching and the tension in your abs, then raise your left leg slightly to your hip. Slowly put it back down. Without bending at the waist or leaning on your shoulders, place the weight on your elbows. Do about 15 reps on both sides. Leg bend swing This is one of the most popular exercises for strengthening the hips and thighs. It is suitable for everyone, requires no additional equipment, and does not involve the spine. This combination works the posterior, anterior, lateral, and medial thighs. Start doing the plank with your palms under your shoulders and your knees under your pelvis, keeping your back in position. As you exhale, push up on your heels; do 20 reps on each leg for four sets. Side push-ups If this is your first time doing this exercise, you don't need any dumbbells - learn the leg movements first. Holding a dumbbell in your right hand, run hard to the left and place your right hand onto your right leg. Lower your hips as far as you can and lean on your heels. Point your toes forward and bend your leg at a 90-degree angle. Push off with your left foot and get into a courtesy position: left foot back, right foot forward. Raise your arms with weights upward, pointing your feet up. Keep your hips and legs tense. Do not return to the start for the repetitions, but go straight from squat to side position. Perform three sets of 10 reps each, then switch sides. Final Words If you know that beautiful thighs are a reality and you have these exercises, then why not try and make your body better?

СWorking on the core muscles is not only essential for good looks, but also for your health. In this article, we will talk about core muscles and how to develop them. So without any further ado, let us begin. Core Muscles: What Do They Consist of? To put it simply, core muscles consist of two main groups, which are central and peripheral. The central muscles resemble a sac that protects internal organs by covering the abdominal cavity. In other words, we need these muscles to keep the vital organs safe. In fact, if we didn’t have these muscles, a slight kick in the abdominal area would cause significant damage to vital organs. Central muscles can be divided into several parts, which are: Front - abs Lateral parts - oblique muscles and the surrounding muscles Back - the muscles that support the spine Upper wall - diaphragm Lower wall - pelvic floor muscles The second group of core muscles, the peripheral muscle group, consists of the trapezius, the latissimus dorsi muscle, the pectoralis muscle, the buttocks, and the muscles of the shoulder girdle. These muscles are essential for our posture and back health, which means that developing those is rather important for everyone who wants to be healthy and look beautiful. Both central and peripheral core muscle groups are extremely significant for our health, posture, as well as the way we look. Therefore, in the next paragraph, we are going to talk about the best exercises for strengthening these muscles. Best Workouts for Strengthening Core Muscles So we made it pretty clear that developing core muscles is important for pretty much everyone. So what exercises can you do to strengthen these muscles? Well, here they come: High plank Supine toe tap Hollowman Bird Dog Crunches Bicycle crunch Superman Warrior crunch Supine leg lifts Elbow to knee Bridge Mountain climber V-sit V-ups Side plank Plank shoulder taps Turkish get-up Elbow plank twists As you can see, there are many workouts that will no doubt help you develop core muscles and eventually become healthy and fit. So why don’t you grab your fitness mat and try at least some of these useful exercises to see their effectiveness yourself? Wrapping Up Not only are core muscles essential for beautiful abs, but also rather important for your back health and posture. Furthermore, these muscles protect your internal organs, which is a pretty important feature. Therefore, if you regularly train but you always avoid core exercises thinking they are not as important as the workouts for your legs or arms, you better stop doing that because core muscles are perhaps the most important muscle group in your body.

After the abdominal muscles are prepared, the obliques are the next step. The obliques are several groups of abdominal muscles on either side of the main body. The external obliques are at the top and the internal obliques are at the bottom. Training them with functional exercises includes flexion, twisting, and other rotational movements. In order to properly exercise the lateral muscles, however, it is important to remember that most oblique exercises also involve the other abdominal muscles, especially the medial transverse muscles. Therefore, you need to engage certain areas of the abdominal abs in a conscious manner. Lateral twists The basic exercise for the abdominal obliques is the lying lateral twist. Begin with lying on your side with your arm bent at the elbow to support your head. Extend the elbow toward the leg slowly, performing a purposeful contraction of the abdominal obliques. Prone lateral push-ups This exercise is fine for developing the neuromuscular links between the abs and the brain. Lying on the back, pull your left elbow in a slow tempo towards the opposite knee. Perform 12-15 reps on each side, and try to achieve a special burning feeling. Lateral push-ups on a fitness ball The advantage of this exercise is that you achieve a wide range of motion by bending your body slowly and controlling each movement over the ball. As you lift, feel your side abdominals twist and stretch as you descend. Place your arms behind your neck and do not move them apart. Cross contacts Make sure that your legs are straightened up while you are lying on your back. Place your hands on the back of your head and lift your head and shoulder blades slightly. Then do a twisting motion, extending your legs with the opposite arm straight. Perform the same movement for the other side. Repeat at least 20 times. Lift your hips Make sure you are lying straight on one side. Your feet should be lying on top of each other and your free arm fixed at the waist. You need to lift your torso so that your body line is completely straight at peak amplitude. At the apex, pause briefly to emphasize the work of the obliques. As you lower your torso, your thighs are only gently touching the ground and the muscles are not fully relaxed. Developed obliques provide the framework for your abs and make them look amazing, so if you really want to have a great abdomen, you should work both your abs and obliques.
