Hi everybody. I'm Grace Lazenby, and welcome to Shapely Legs. Today, we're going to work gluteal presses, and outer thigh, so you're going to go ahead, and come all the way down onto your mat. Place your head in your hand, as nice and light, so we're going to start with gluteal presses. What we're going to do today, is you're going to bring your right knee down towards the floor, and then you're going to push through the heel, straight out to the right. Pull down, and then push out. I want you to feel like you have a weight on your heel, so engage your glutes to push out. Good. Let's go two more slow, and push. Good. One more time, and down, and push. Here we go tempo, and down,and push, and down. Again, so you kind of have to add your own resistance here. Push, down, and push. Good. Keep the abs in, and lower body really stable. Inhale, exhale, beautiful. Again. Imagine that you've got a weight, right on your heel. This is your last core, everybody. Four, excellent, three, two, perfect, good. Now, you're going to hold here. Now, we're going to add an inner, outer thigh. You're going to lift up, and then scissor the legs, right here. Shh, up, shh, balance on that left hip. Up, and press. Excellent. Let's do four more, and three, and two, and one. Hold, beautiful, bring it on down. Let's bend the knees. Let's change to the other side. Again, set yourself up, head nice and light, into your hands. You're going to bring the knee down, and push through the heel. Here we go, and down, and push. Excellent, so again, give me that imaginary weight, right on your heel, and down, and push. Inhale and exhale. This is your last four everybody, and three, and two, and one, now hold it. Good. Now, bring the leg down first. Here we go.You're going to lift it up, squeeze, up, and squeeze. Again. Scissor those legs, inner, outer thigh. You're also getting a little bit of core here. Last four, three, two, one, hold. Beautiful work. Go ahead and come on up. Always make sure that you stretch, after any lower body workout. You can take a nice stretch for the outer thigh on either side, and release. Beautiful. That was your Shapely Legs workout for the day. I'm Grace Lazenby, and we'll see you next time.
