hey guys it's Kelly from fitness wonder 00:13
calm and today I have a button thigh 00:15
workout for you that's completely 00:17
Pilates based we're not going to be 00:19
doing a single lunge or squat but we're 00:20
definitely going to work the lower body 00:23
we're going to be doing 40 seconds on 10 00:24
seconds rest and I'll give you for this 00:27
workout it's an exercise mat we're gonna 00:28
start off with a basic bridge so go 00:30
ahead and lay flat on your back with 00:33
your heels your feet on the ground near 00:34
your butt and just press up through 00:37
those heels so squeeze your abs make 00:41
sure your core is nice and tight and you 00:43
should feel this through your the backs 00:46
of your thighs so your glutes through 00:48
your core and your lower back 00:50
do you wanna make a little bit harder 00:52
you can put your hands up in the air be 00:53
a little bit harder in your balance 00:55
otherwise just make sure you're never 00:59
resting on the ground here you just 01:01
barely hover and before you squeeze 01:03
right back up again inhale on the way 01:05
down exhale as you press back up alright 01:13
we get a short break here next up we're 01:22
going to be doing a swinging bridge so 01:23
it's kind of a similar motion but we're 01:25
rocking back and forth pressing up on 01:26
each side so just target that muscle in 01:28
a little bit different way so coming up 01:30
this way 01:32
sinking down in the middle but not all 01:33
the way swing back up to the other side 01:35
so you definitely feel this mostly in 01:36
the outsides of your thighs as well as 01:40
your glutes again 01:42
make sure you're not holding your breath 01:52
these nice steady breaths here make sure 01:54
if your hands are on the ground that 02:06
you're not cheating I'm holding yourself 02:08
up with those hands right next up we're 02:10
doing an outside leg raise so lady I'm 02:13
all the way flat on the ground bend this 02:16
bottom leg point the toe that top one 02:18
legs straight I'm all the way up and 02:20
back down so make sure you're not doing 02:23
any swing and then you're not using any 02:26
momentum to get that leg up there 02:28
because it makes it a lot easier and it 02:30
renders the entire exercise basically 02:32
useless you see a lot of people doing 02:34
this exercise wrong and it's too bad 02:36
because it can be really effective if 02:39
you focus and practice control over your 02:41
own body so we're doing lots of 02:44
different pulses in this workout so some 02:50
of this might end up being a burnout 02:53
round actually did a lower body workout 02:55
before this one so it's Mike interesting 02:57
let's see if we can do all right ten 03:00
seconds rest and we're gonna do the same 03:02
movement but we're gonna stay in the 03:04
middle range or that motion and do a 03:05
small pulse so get that leg out there 03:07
and just right here I'm not going all 03:11
the way up we're not going all the way 03:13
down we're staying in the most painful 03:14
part and we're just doing nice smooth 03:15
pulses right here this is already 03:18
burning so if you need to drink any time 03:25
in this routine you can stop and take a 03:29
break just make sure you get right back 03:32
into it as soon as you can sometimes 03:33
even just a couple seconds of rest can 03:35
make all the difference and it's better 03:36
that you take a break and then go back 03:38
into it with clean form and just keep 03:40
pressing through with really sloppy form 03:41
about five seconds left we'll switch and 03:44
do this on the opposite side okay 03:47
/ same exact thing here we go all the 03:52
way up back down 04:02
keep your lungs open I'm inhaling on the 04:16
way up exhaling as I let my leg back 04:24
down five seconds left are you letting 04:26
relax real quick 04:42
you ready for those pulses do a couple 04:43
quick stretches if you like shake up 04:45
those muscles a little start it up all 04:48
right right here in the center really 04:52
smooth release flow no bouncing no 04:54
jerking no momentum hmm this is burning 04:57
like crazy already 05:04
try to hang in there like I said take a 05:11
break anytime you need you about ten 05:14
seconds left 05:20
[Music] 05:27
all right and it's a back over on this 05:30
other side we're gonna do the inside leg 05:32
so same thing first we're doing raises 05:35
and we're really doing pulses to lay 05:37
down hand what might otherwise be a 05:40
comfortable position we weren't working 05:42
now we're just lifting up that if I keep 05:44
this you should keep your ankle up 05:47
towards the ceiling and lift us Mike it 05:49
won't be as big a range of motion at the 05:52
outside leg but you're still gonna be 05:54
able to move quite a bit let's do what 05:55
you can 05:57
a workout like this one is actually 06:09
awesome to add on to the end of a string 06:11
tuning routine because there's no 06:14
there's it's not very easy to make a 06:15
mistake you're not gonna spring anything 06:18
necessarily doing this not like you 06:20
would with hit so it's a good way to 06:22
burn on those muscles extra special a 06:23
low risk of injury so next up we're 06:26
doing pulses same thing so we're going 06:29
to that middle range of motion I'm just 06:31
doing little tiny pulses right here 06:33
I'm never letting that leg relax 06:36
until you absolutely can't stand it 06:40
that's our halfway point 06:50
[Music] 06:59
all right five seconds left keep it 07:04
going if you can to none all right let 07:07
that relax we're gonna do the same thing 07:12
on the opposite side all right here the 07:13
full lips first so up back down find 07:21
your breathing pattern make sure you 07:24
were inhaling and exhaling about 15 07:26
seconds left 07:46
all right quick break 08:00
ten seconds wiggle it out I can need to 08:02
do a quick stretch go three seconds and 08:05
start it back up again 08:09
the pulse is all right here we go 08:10
you can use this hand to steady yourself 08:17
if you need to if you're having trouble 08:19
with balance otherwise try to use your 08:22
core to stabilize yourself become one 08:27
ten seconds left 08:40
do one I'm Alexis all right next up 08:48
we're doing the reverse leg lift so 08:53
we're gonna be on our knees and forearms 08:55
so we can get more range of motion with 08:58
us then we go up nice and smooth and 08:59
then tuck it back in make sure you're 09:05
really squeezing at the top should feel 09:07
this in your glutes and your thighs you 09:09
can make this routine even harder by 09:14
wearing ankle weights definitely step up 09:16
the intensity 09:20
three-two-one my battle axe 09:39
all right next up we're doing same leg 09:42
we're doing pulses the top of the range 09:44
of motion two one here we go so keep 09:47
your leg here and we're just pulling 09:52
upwards and this is a really tiny range 09:54
of option but you're definitely going to 09:56
feel it go to your happy place 09:57
think about something else turn on some 10:06
music turn on your favorite show take 10:08
your mind off of it just make sure your 10:10
form is still clean otherwise just keep 10:12
pushing through you got about ten 10:16
seconds left and then we'll switch and 10:20
do this on the opposite side - one down 10:22
now we're doing this full pulse on the 10:32
other leg and start it up ceiling come 10:35
back down 10:45
make sure your shoulders aren't coming 10:56
up towards your neck try to press them 10:58
back down wait from your head 10:59
just a couple more all right stretch out 11:14
real quick like a couple more seconds on 11:24
stock pulses on that same leg so get it 11:27
up there and start it up it helps to 11:31
count 11:42
inhale on accountant three pulses exhale 11:42
on the next count of three pulses just 11:45
to make sure you're not holding your 11:47
breath that's really easy to do during 11:48
some of these exercises okay ten seconds 11:50
left just a few more animals on this 12:02
entire routine is finished already 12:04
ucch 12:11
okay next up you're doing it up an overt 12:12
act so kind of like a reverse leg lift 12:15
but we're going over and tapping on the 12:17
outside of the leg so the leg up and 12:19
we're going here and then up all the way 12:22
over and tapping on the outside and 12:25
other leg 12:27
so just a big circle half circle big as 12:29
you can manage 12:35
what's ability wise 12:36
you might actually feel this in the leg 12:47
that's doing the movement and the 12:50
supporting leg and that's completely 12:51
normal and that's okay remember to pull 12:53
your belly button in there's lots of 12:56
things you can be working on even if 12:59
you're directly not directly working on 13:00
those muscles all right same thing on 13:02
the opposite side here we go 13:04
feet up on the ground don't ever rest on 13:20
the ground if you can help it unless you 13:23
need to take a break faster is not 13:25
necessarily better with all these 13:31
exercises you actually have to work 13:33
harder to slow the motion down 13:34
five-second flat move on to our last 13:45
exercise all right slightly flat on your 13:48
mat so we're gonna be doing double taps 13:54
heels have to so you can feel this in 13:57
your lower back your glutes and your 13:59
class so here we go double tap and out 14:01
you lift your chest up off the ground 14:04
and well if you like let's focus on 14:07
spreading those legs wide and then 14:09
clicking your heels together twice put 14:11
your elevated the entire time 14:15
now times like you [ __ ] 14:30
