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