Hi. I'm Grace Lazenby, and we are going to work into your outer thigh today. So, we are going to do one of my favorite moves. This is called seated attitude. Come on to your left hip, and then slightly lean your body forward. You are going to reach your right leg back and hold. From here, you are going to give me a really small lift, up and lower. So I love this exercise because it works right into that outer hip but also that muscle that connects the back of your glute. So this is a great move to lift your glutes without building them. Lift, and lower, and lift, and lower. Good. Now remember, keep all the tension out of your upper body. Keep your abs in so your body is really stable. So you can even reach that right arm out and balance yourself a little bit. Good. Now, you are going to hold it up. Good. Now from here, you are going to take that back leg and you are going to give me a tiny little press. Good. Again, squeezing right from the back of the glute. There you go, and press, and press. Good. Let's put it together so you are going to lift it up, back, in, and lower. So you may want to do a couple of different sets of these or just do it to the point where your leg gets a little bit tired so it gets fatigued. Good. Excellent. Let's go four more everybody. Four, press, and three, and two, and release. Excellent job. Bring it around, stretch it out a little bit, and then just change to the other side. Your chest is lifted, set yourself up, bring that left leg back, and then just start to give me tiny little lifts. And up, and lower. Good. Keep it controlled. Excellent. And again, you can do these exercises every single day if you want because we are not using any weight. Two more, good. Here we go, and press it back, press, again you are focusing on all the smaller muscle groups. Not the larger muscle groups, but all the smaller ones so those count too. Good. Four, three, two, hold. Good. Let's put it together. Here we go. You are going to go up, back, in, and lower again. Up, back, and tempo. Here we go everybody. Up, back, and up, back, and up, back. Good. Last two, excellent. And relax. Good. You can always give your body a nice stretch to the other thigh and release. Great job. That was your seated attitude series. I'm Grace Lazenby. Have a great day.
