The Thigh Master was a device originally developed by a Swedish spiritual guide, who named her invention the V-Bar. The invention was then passed down to the same developer who created the mood ring, who named it the V-Toner. From there, Suzanne Somers pitched the product to America as the Thigh Master, and up to 75,000 units were sold per week in its heyday. Now the Thigh Master, renamed the Thigh Master Gold and redesigned for more versatility, is less popular, but still offers a great way to tone up legs and thighs.
Basic Inner Thigh
Step 1
Sit up straight in a high-backed chair, leaving your legs shoulder-width apart and your knees softly bent.
Step 2
Place the ThighMaser Gold in between your knees, with the gold center pointing down. Rest your hands on top of the rubber handles to stabilize the ThighMaster.
Step 3
Use your thighs to apply pressure and press them together, bringing the sides of the ThighMaster Gold together. Squeeze for three seconds, and release slowly, completing a repetition. Complete 15 to 20 reps per set, and try doing three sets per day.
Crunches
Step 1
Lay on the floor with your feet flat and knees bent at a 45-degree angle.
Step 2
Place one side of the ThighMaster in between your thighs, midway between your knees and the top of your legs. The gold center should be pointing at the ceiling.
Step 3
Place the other side of the ThighMaster in your hands, and do a crunch while compressing into the ThighMaster Gold. It should make your crunches much more challenging.
Step 4
Do 15 reps per set and try three sets per day.
Upper Body
Step 1
Hold the ThighMaster Gold out in front of you, with your elbows slightly bent and the gold center pointing up at the ceiling.
Step 2
Engage your biceps, triceps and chest muscles to compress the sides of the ThighMaster Gold toward each other. Squeeze in for three seconds, and then release slowly for a count of three, completing a rep
Step 3
Complete three sets of 15 per day.
