Hi. I'm Grace Lazenby. Welcome to your shapely leg workout for the day. This one is called thigh burner. So go ahead, I'm going to use a ballet bar, but if your at home, use a chair or a counter top or a body bar if you have one. So, you're going to bring your big toes and ankles together. You're going to roll up onto the balls of your feet. Now, you're going to lower your body weight, just like you're sitting in a chair. You're not going to come quite to 90 degrees. Now the goal here is get to squeeze your knees together. What that's going to do is work your inner thighs. From here, you're just going to lift up about 2 inches and lower, up and lower. Now, you're probably going to already feel your thighs burn because your isometrically contracting through your gluteals and through your quads. Good. Your abs are in, and also if you ski, this is a great exercise to use for skiing, balance and then hold. Good. Now from here you're just going to bring your knees in and tap, and tap. And remember, you really got to engage your glutes as you tap your knees in, I mean keep your abs in your body tall, good, four more, four. Try to go to your max. Your legs may start to shake a little bit, but remember we've got to take our body to the point of fatigue in order for it to change. Four, three, two, here we go, lift up, and remember don't lift up all the way and lift, and lift. Again, if you're using this exercise for skiing it is really great because it kinda strengthens up those legs because you're always in this position. Four, excellent, three, two, hold it down one more time and tap, and tap, and tap from the inner and outer thighs, four, three, two, hold, and relax. Great job. Especially after this exercise, take a nice long stretch, press the pelvis and then you're going to stretch your quads, and you want to make sure that you don't pull back on the knee that you actually press your pelvis forward. Hold. Good. Hold each stretch for at least 10 to 15 seconds and release it. Good. Change to the other side, hold, good. Lift your body really tall, stretch. Again, you can do these exercises two or three times a week. Beautiful. Great job you guys. That is your shapely leg workout, your thigh burner for today. I'm Grace Lazenby. We'll see you next time.
