The ThighMaster is a piece of equipment designed to tone and exercise the thighs. There are two types of ThighMaster: the ThighMaster LBX and the ThighMaster Gold. Both pieces of equipment are V-shaped, with a hinge to create tension for exercises. The ThighMaster LBX has a narrow V-shape so you can place the ends on the outside of each knee and pull the V open to target the buttocks and outer thigh muscles. The ThighMaster Gold has a wide V-shape so you can place the ends on the inside of each knee and push the V closed to target the inner thigh muscles. ThighMasters come with an instructional pamphlet and DVD with detailed exercise tips and routines.
Step 1
Walk in place for five to 10 minutes or perform any warm up routine you normally use. Stretch all of your muscles. Warm up your entire body before every workout to prevent injury.
Step 2
Sit on the edge of a chair and position your feet about 1 foot apart. Place the ThighMaster Gold handles between your knees with the yellow-capped hinge pointing down and hold the handles in place with your hands. Squeeze your thighs together until the handles touch. Slowly release your squeeze until the handles are back to their original position. Perform 12 to 24 repetitions of this exercise, depending on your ability.
Step 3
Sit on the edge of a chair with your feet and knees pressed together. Put the ThighMaster LBX under your legs and place the handles on the outside of each knee with the yellow-capped hinge pointing down. Hold the handles in place with your hands. Pull your thighs 6 to 8 inches apart. Slowly bring your thighs together again. Perform 12 to 24 repetitions of this exercise, depending on your ability.
Step 4
Perform one to three sets of repetitions of each exercise. As your muscles strengthen, add more repetitions and sets. If you feel any discomfort or pain, stop the exercise immediately.
Step 5
Stretch all of your muscles after the workout.
