This exercise helps you strengthen your abs, thighs and knees.

First, lie on your back with your arms alongside your body, and raise your legs upwards to form a 90-degree angle. Keep your legs straight without bending your knees and your feet should be together and pointed.

Then, while squeezing your legs together, bend one knee, pointing your foot towards your buttocks, then extend your leg and bend the other. Repeat 10 times for each leg.

Expert Tips: This exercise works best if your muscles are already warmed up. You must always keep one of your two legs stretched and straight. Breathe regularly so that your body is well oxygenated.

2 – TONE THE INSIDE OF THE THIGHS

In addition to your inner thighs, this exercise also strengthens your upper legs, abs, and buttocks.

Lie on your back and cross your legs, making sure your right leg is on top of your left leg. Keep your leg muscles tight and make sure your legs are close together.

Now bend your knees, then stretch them until you return to your original position. After a set of 10, reverse leg position by crossing the left leg over the right, then repeat 10 times as well.

Expert Tips: Make sure your legs are straight during the exercise and be careful to keep your muscles tight throughout the 20 sets. If you feel pressure in your legs and knees, you are doing it correctly.

It consists of two parts.

During the exercise, keep the muscles in your upper legs tense. Do a set of 20.

Expert Tips: To make sure the work is working on your legs, you should feel a tightness in the back of your thighs.
