Attractive, toned and shapely thighs are just the thing to emphasise your figure. Here are three essential exercises to build your thigh muscles.

The aim of the exercise is to maintain a position for a given period of time. Your muscles contract even more that way.

  • Rest your back against a wall, with your legs bent at a 90° angle, as if you were seated on a chair. Place your hands on your thighs to make it easier or cross your arms for more intensity.
  • During the exercise, ensure that your buttocks and the top of your back are in contact with the wall..
  • While you are resting, do not remain immobile and walk around a little.

One of the basic exercises for toned and shapely thighs.

  • Stand up straight with your feet aligned and spread hip-width apart. Put your hands on your hips.
  • Take a step to the side bending your supporting leg and hold the low position for one second.
  • Exhale and return to the initial position by pushing on your supporting leg.

The interval

2 or 3 times a week
4mins.

20 secs of jumps

This movement will allow you to work on your endurance and build your thigh muscles. Start by finding a raised surface to use as a "box" (stairs, public bench, stadium step, etc.).

  • Stand up straight with your arms along the side of your body in front of your box.
  • Jump on the box using your arms to propel yourself.
  • Then descend either by jumping backwards or placing one foot after the other.
  • Repeat this movement until the rest period.
