The inner-thigh drop

 

Lie on your back, and extend your legs straight in the air. Position your feet over the hips, and keep knees and ankles together. Contract your abs, and relax your arms by your sides.

 

Lower your left leg out to the side, keeping it straight. Go as low as you comfortably can while keeping your torso stable. If you feel any strain on your back, raise the open leg higher. Use your inner thigh muscles to bring the leg back up. Perform 10 times slowly, and then switch legs.

I'm sorry, I've read and reread this and I can't figure it out. I really need to trim my thigs for Easter and I thought this would be great but the directions aren't explanatory enough.

MOD MOD MOD - 3 Questions
1. So my eighth grade graduation is in about two months, I bought a cute dress that come just above my knees, I've been doing 20 reps of squats for three sets and 30 reps of calf rises also for 3 sets each day. Is this too much, too little?
2. What's a good way to get rid of scars on your legs from shaving?
3. My dress is strapless and the dress code requires something to be covering the shoulders of girls that is at least 1 inch wide, any suggestions? (It has to be white, too)
Thanks so much on advance!

 

Hey girl! Congrats on your 8th grade graduation! Sounds like you are doing some great exercises to tone those legs--way to go! You could also do some lunges for some extra definition. Just make sure you are doing the squats, calf rises, and lunges correctly to avoid injury. 


 

Scars can be a little tricky to get rid of if they are old, but you could try putting some cocoa butter on your legs every night. Scars from shaving usually aren't that noticeable, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. You could even put a little concealer on your legs on the day of graduation if you are worried about them.


 

I remember having the same dilemma for my 8th grade graduation. I wore a thin white cardigan on top (you can find one at Target, American Eagle, Aeropostale, Hollister) and added some style to my outfit by wearing some fun jewelry. You could try  a colorful necklace or a wide bangle.

I really want to work out but I stop after a couple days. I try really hard to be committed but it doesn't help AT ALL! Please help, what should I do?!




Hey Girlie,

I know you can do it!!! It's tough to get motivated in the beginning but as soon as you see results, you're gonna love working out regularly, I promise! Also, try to find something that you enjoy doing (like running or playing tennis etc.) so that it doesn't feel like a work out!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
