Exercises on the outer thigh (ears) at home, the gym

As you know, one of the most problematic areas of the female body, the most prone to fat deposits, is the outer thighs. But to imagine the ideal figure that every girl dreams of is impossible without elastic pumped buttocks.

You can give your hips the desired shape with the help of special exercises that can easily get rid of the hated “ears” on the sides.

Principles for effective training of the outer thigh

The thigh is located between the knee and the hip joint, it forms part of the lower limb of the human body.

The external part consists of muscles whose functions are to ensure the functioning of the leg back and to the side. You can see them as an attractive roundness on the side of the hips.

Starting to search and perform physical exercises, it is necessary to find out the basics of successful training.

The effectiveness of training is as follows:

• regularity;
• focus;
• attention to details;
• gradual increase in load.

The first thing to remember is regularity – it is this that is the most important factor in performance.

Ideally, you should be engaged every day, but in the absence of such an opportunity, you can allocate 3 days a week for this. In this case, it is necessary to understand that the result will be more long-awaited in time.

During training, do not forget to pay special attention to the work of those muscles that need to be tightened.

Here you just need to listen to your own feelings: if you feel that the load is directed more towards the desired areas, then you are going in the right direction.

When performing exercises on the outer thigh, the lateral muscles of the legs will maximize tension.

Important to remember! That little things often play a decisive role. Make sure that the squat is low enough, the feet do not come off the floor, the angle of elevation is held correctly, and the leg is raised as high as possible during the swing. Thus, it is possible to influence the speed of achieving the final result.

Over time, try to increase the load step by step. Here, again, the personal assistant will become the main assistant: if you feel that you need less effort to complete the exercise than before, raise the bar. For example, 10 mach over time should inevitably turn into 15, and later at 20.

Exercises on the outside of the thigh can be performed at home and even at work , if there is the necessary space and time, so they are a real salvation for women who do not have the opportunity to attend the gym. It will require dumbbells, a mat and a positive attitude.

Exercise 1. Mahi kicking

Exercise 2. Raising the legs

Exercises on the outer thigh of the next type will require a similar starting position as in the previous case. The right leg should be placed on the toe, turning it to the right, and raise back as high as possible.

Bringing the foot to an extremely high point, put it back. To begin with, 15 approaches for each limb will be enough, then their number should be increased.

Exercise 3. Squats

No set of exercises on the outer thigh is complete without squats. The main rule is not to stand on your toes. Try to squat as low as possible, with a straight back, keeping your arms bent in front of you.

10 squats are enough for a start. The main advantage of this type of exercise is that they are useful not only for the outer surface of the thigh, but also for the whole organism.

Exercise 4. Lunges

The leader among effective exercises are lunges. Take wide steps to the side, first with your right and then with your left foot , keeping your hands parallel to the torso. Use weights for weights.

Remember to keep your unused limb straight. You should start with 10 lunges on each leg for 3 sets.

Lunges can be not only lateral. You can run them forward alternately with each foot. At the same time, legs should be set as far as possible. Dumbbells that will only increase the effectiveness of training will be faithful helpers here.

Pay attention to posture – the back should be perfectly straight. Take a breath at each step. Do not try to lunge sharply, it is better to give preference to smooth movements. As for the number of lunges, experts recommend performing 3 approaches 10 times.

Exercise 5. Lifting the knees

For the next exercise, you need to kneel. For maximum efficiency, transfer the main weight to your arms and straighten your back. The knee rises upward at an angle of 90 °.

Do the same with the other leg. Muscles must be in constant tension. Experienced trainers are advised to start with 20 lifts of each knee with the condition of a subsequent increase in load.

Exercise 6. Climbing

Raising the legs is also quite effective if you do them to the side. To do this, lie on the mat, turn on its side and raise the limb lying on top, as high as possible.

Then you should turn to the other side and perform a similar operation with the opposite leg. You can start with 10 strokes with each foot.

Exercise 7. Holding the raised legs

You can complete the training and relieve tension from the muscles by turning on your back and lifting your limb up perpendicular to the floor.
