Hi, Grace Lazenby, and welcome to Shapely Legs. Today, I'm going to take you through an inner thigh workout, so I'm going to use a ballet bar. This is going to be a little bit different. You're going to almost, not lean against the ballet bar. You can use this at home. You can use a chair behind you, or even against a wall, so sit up nice and tall, and then all you're going to do, is draw your right leg up, and forward, so if you're next to a bar, then lightly hold onto it, and all you're going to do is give me a nice lift, and lower, so as you notice, my movement is really small, working right at the top of the inner thigh. Good, that's it, so you're also working your core here, and lift, and lower. Good. Relax those shoulders, abs in, and lift, and lift. Good, four more. Four and three, good. Keep it up there, keep it up there, and hold, hold. Now, all you're going to do is draw it in, and press out, bend and press out. It's almost like a develope in a ballet class. Good. In, press out. We're not going to do too many. Good, four more. Four, press, three, press, two, press, one, hold it out, breathe. Excellent. Let it go. Shake it out a little bit. Good. You can relax your upper body, other side. Draw it up, press out, hold, keep contraction, and lift, and lift, and lift. Good, excellent. You can always increase this too, by rolling up onto the ball of the opposite foot. Good, lengthen that right leg. Good. Now, hold it here, everybody, hold. Here we go. Draw it in, press out. Good. Now, think about your body as being so tall, so long, and so lean. In, good, four more. Last four, press, three, two, and relax. Good, excellent. Shake it out a little bit. You can always take a nice stretch, and other side, stretching out that inner thigh, stretching out your quad. Beautiful. I'm Grace Lazenby. That's your Shapely Legs workout. We'll see you next time.
