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?

Sure, everyone familiar with running knows the importance of strengthening the foot and ankle ligaments. The other thing is that sometimes it's hard to spend 5-10 minutes preparing for ankle exercises: we get dressed, lace up our shoes and run down the street. This is unfortunate. After all, good elastic ligaments can reduce the risk of leg pain. And strong ankle muscles can improve lower back and even shoulder strength when you're running or just walking. Of course, there are plenty of good exercises to help you strengthen your ankles, so without further ado, let's take a look. Stretching Sit on the floor and straighten your leg in front of you. It's important to make sure your big toe, little toe, and heel stay in the same direction as you extend your foot. Only then the muscles will be strengthened and stretched in a balanced manner so that you don't walk and run with your foot falling out or in. While pulling your foot apart, stretch your toes as much as possible, as if you were lengthening them, without tucking them under your feet. Repeat 15 times. Rolling Pose From a seated position, place your feet in front of you and bring your feet as close to yourself as possible. Spread your knees and keep your feet together. Keeping your feet in this position, place your hands on the floor, bend your body forward and lift your pelvis off the floor and try to stay in this position for a while. If you feel your potential, you can roll to the left and to the right, touching your feet with the palms of your hands. Rising and falling Exercise It is traditionally recommended to do these on a ladder, but doing them slowly on a flat surface will give good results. Raise your toes as high as you can, keeping your heels in the air, then bend your knees so your heels are forward. Place your heel on the floor and then straighten your leg. It is very important to make sure your knees and ankles don't flip or drop. Dumbbell Squats Deep squats are good for developing the ankles, and when combined with dumbbells or barbells (if you have trained enough), this exercise is even more effective. Start with dumbbells that you can lift 15 times without dropping to the floor. 2-3 kg is suitable for beginners. Bodybuilders need to lift more weight to develop their leg muscles. Make a deep squat as follows: stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides, holding a dumbbell, or if you are doing the exercise with a barbell, place it in front of your chest or behind your head. Sit down with your knees bent and your hips on the floor. Keeping your back straight, squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Keep your knees straight over your feet at all times and do not extend your knees further than your toes. Return to the starting position. Perform 2 sets of 10-15 squats each. Lunges Keeping your torso straight and your shoulders back, step forward and sit until both knees are at a 90-degree angle. Your knees should not protrude over your toes. Do a series of two on each leg and repeat 10 times. Final Words Strengthening your ankles is crucial for professional and amateur athletes alike, so whether sports are your life or you're just exercising to stay healthy, in is necessary to work on your ankles.

The Kardashians have created many beauty trends, one of which is having beautiful buttocks. So, in this article, we'll talk about building great gluteus muscles so you can look as attractive as Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe. Let's begin by looking at the anatomy. The glutes are made up of three main parts. The gluteal maximum muscles, which are the largest muscles in the body, help to maintain balance when walking and running. They allow your legs to move sideways and are also responsible for contouring the shape of the buttocks. The gluteus medius is overlaid in part by the gluteus maximus and is located at the top of the pelvis. It is involved in leg extension, lateral flexion, and body stabilization during the movement. Finally, below is the gluteus minimus. Both are in charge of leg induction and body stabilization, as well as shaping the thigh line. Training for the glutes Building your glute muscles isn't easy, particularly when you're on a tight schedule. However, by working out at least three times a week and never giving up, you will quickly reach your goal. To help you achieve your goals, we've compiled the best exercises for your gluteus muscle development. Deep squat with a barbell This is one of the basic exercises that help to develop this muscle effectively. From the starting position - with your feet apart - lower your pelvis below the knees. Keep your lower back straight and make sure the knees do not go over your feet. Spreading your legs wider apart puts more pressure on your hips. Romanian deadlifts Stand up straight with a slight bend at the waist. Holding the dumbbells in both hands, bend over and pull your pelvis backward. Reaching a point just below your knees, return to start. Dumbbell split squat Exercise with a straight back and one leg stepping forward while the other leg is thrown into a brace behind you. Squat down and perform the exercise with both legs. Back lunges From the standing position, take a large step backward and drop down to form a bent-over position. Return to start and repeat this exercise for the other leg. Make sure your knee is bent at a right angle and not sticking out past your toes, do 20-30 reps. It is important to step backward precisely, maintaining rhythm and balance. Having great gluteus is everyone's dream, and luckily, developing these muscles isn't difficult if you know the right exercises. So why not take advantage of our tips and start working towards your goal right now?

People often underestimate hamstrings. Often, focusing on training the quadriceps and calves, hamstrings seem less important. However, you should remember that neglecting any muscle has aesthetic and medical consequences that can be avoided if you work it properly. The reason you shouldn't ignore these muscles is not just about the symmetry and appearance of your body. Hamstring weakness is one of the most common causes of injury in most professional athletes. The best way to strengthen your leg muscles is to work them out properly. So let's have a look at the exercises. Barbell 90 The main advantage of this exercise is that you don't need much equipment, just a simple barbell. Starting in a standing position and holding the barbell on your shoulders, keep your back straight. While bending your knees slightly, tense your hips, and bend forward 90 degrees. Then return to the starting position inhaling. Except for hamstrings, this exercise will also strengthen your hips and back. Hyperextensions Hyperextensions are a great workout for your hamstrings as well as the lower back and glute muscles. Sit on the hyperextension training machine comfortably with your heels pressed against the platform at the bottom of the trainer. Place your arms crossed in front of your chest or behind your head. Slowly lower yourself down until you inhale and feel the stretch in your lower back and leg muscles. Without stopping at the bottom point, straighten up to the starting position and exhale. Return to the beginning position then. Maintain your head in line with your torso, keeping your back straight throughout the exercise. Tights Up This exercise can be done on the playground with two pull-ups or simply by placing your feet on a chair or bench. We will present a variation of the home exercise.Choose a sitting position on the floor with your feet on a chair. Lift your torso with your hands so that the tights are in the air. Bending your knees, raise the tights so that your body is paralleled to the floor. Perform 7-8 repetitions. Single-Leg and Dumbbell The exercise requires a good sense of balance and gives you good results. With a dumbbell in your hand, bring one leg back and keep it on the floor until the end of the exercise. Then return to the previous position. Repeat this exercise several times before you have tired. Final Words Hamstrings may look insignificant, but that has nothing to do with the fact that you can skip working these muscles. As a matter of fact, stronger hamstrings prevent you from many injuries. Therefore, don't delay and start exercising these muscles now.

While working on their arms, many people concentrate on the biceps and completely forget about the workouts for the triceps. Of course, working on your triceps is super important since you have to develop these muscles in order to have strong and relief arms. So how to train your triceps and grow beautiful muscles? This is the question we’ll try to answer in this article. Is It Difficult to Develop Triceps? Many people believe that growing triceps is extremely challenging, but luckily, it’s not true. The thing is anatomically triceps are rather easy to train and eventually grow.

In general, working on triceps is not as difficult as many people think, yet it still requires some time and effort. How Long Does It Take To Grow Triceps? The amount of time it takes to develop triceps depends on what you are striving for as well as what you start with. For example, if you are skinny and you just want to make your arms more fit, a few months will be enough. In case you want to grow really pronounced muscles, you might need from 6 to 12 months. At the same time, if you have some extra pounds, working on your triceps can take longer since you also have to lose weight. As you can see, every situation is different, so it’s hard to give you the precise amount of time you’ll need to grow your triceps. How Often Should I Exercise? To grow any muscle group as well as be healthy and fit, you need to work out at least three times a week. Of course, you need to understand that even if you try to develop triceps, you still have to work on other muscle groups, so all the muscles in your body are harmoniously developed. In general, most trainers recommend doing 4-6 exercises for triceps during your workouts. Each exercise has to be done in 2-3 sets, while the set has to have 10-15 repetitions.
