any simple ways to exercise my thighs, besides walking or running?

Question

please serious answers only!! :)

Answer 1

sit-up's.

- Stand straight with your feet slightly apart.
- Place both your hands behind your head. (as though someone, was pointing a gun at you.)
- Now bend your knees forward, pushing your butt down as though you were going to sit on a chair. (breath in while doing this )
- Without going all the way down. Count to three and rise back up, (exhaling, your breath).
- Keep at this until you feel your muscle tightning.

Answer 2

Have an excellent diet plan to compromise with the little or no exercise. Walking is a must everyday. Say no to fat and fast food, sticking as much with fruits and veggies.
This method is slow will take an year but is probably something your body will tell you if it could only speak your language.

Top Models do this, and I got this from Tyra Banks show.....When lieing in bed, at night, or before, you get up, for your coffee, in the morning.....On your back, knees up, feet up, by your bottom, push your knees, as far apart, to the bed, as possible, then,back-up, together, and repeat. and try faster & faster, each time..Then, this other one, you have to be on your back in bed, also, and put your legs up in the air above your tummy, and ride, your pretend bike, in the circular motion, and all...As long as you can, take breaks, and do crunches, in between, then repeat as often as your able, too.. Then while your legs are up in the air, you can do the scissors with them, by spreading them as far apart, as possible, and hold them there. For, the back of the thighs, on your back, knees up, and apart a bit, push your pelvis up in the air as high up as you can, and tighten everything you can tighten, I have lost inches from these excercises, and I swear by them to be effective, so long as you do them everyday, no matter how tired you are, you will start to see curves in all the right places, once again, believe me !!! I've had such good results,,that when I missed one night the other day, I was so mad at myself, the next night I worked double the excercises!!! Thats how effective they are! Good-Luck, to you !!

Answer 4

I lay on the floor and do leg lifts. I try to incorporate this while I am watching TV, that way I don't feel totally lazy. Every commercial, I lay down and do 100 leg lifts on each leg. It has helped ALOT.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly.

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
