Here’s a great workout I’ve been enjoying lately, as I continue to lose weight. If you love an at home workout that gives you the burning sensation then this is perfect for you!
Enjoy!
Standing Side Leg lifts
I love to incorporate this as part of my warm-up or alternate this exercise between cardio sets.
Bonus: Standing Leg Lifts will help train on balance and engage the obliques.
3 reps of 30 on each side.
Leg Lift Set
Side Leg Lifts
The higher you lift your leg the more of a stretch you will feel and more engaged your obliques will be.
Do these as a set with the below exercise or by itself in 3 rep of 30 on each side.
Thigh Leg Lifts
Personally, I like to do these as part of a set with the above exercise to engage the whole midsection.
I found this can be difficult with “sharp hips” try to position yourself on your stomach to hold most of the weight there.
Try by itself in 3reps of 30 on each side.
Leg Lift Set
20 leg lifts on each side
20 thigh lifts on each side
25 leg lifts on each side
25 thigh lifts on each side
30 leg lifts on each side
30 thigh lifts on each side
**If you are more advanced use a resistance band.**
Now I will agree with you that the first part of the workout barely broke a sweat. Here’s where it gets difficult.
Thigh Burner Superset
Plie Squats
The trick to this exercise is to point your toes and flair your knees in motion. Try to keep your centre balance and a straight back. You should feel the burn in your inner thighs. If you don’t position yourself to be centred.
Try alone in a set of 30.
Raised V Splits
For this next exercise, you are going to raise your legs up together and let them fall to your sides in wide “V”.
The wider the “V” the more you will feel it in your hamstrings and inner thighs. The slower you go the more of a burn you will feel.
**If you are more advanced try this with a resistance band.**
Try alone in a set of 30.
Reverse Tabletop Pilates Pose
I couldn’t find a picture that was actually what I wanted to depict but the above (1st image) is close and this will be the finishing finale in the thigh burner superset.
Lay on your back with both of your legs in the air (like the photo above) at a 90-degree angle apart. For best results, your legs should be over your butt to feel the progressive burn. I like to keep my legs a foot apart. Keep your back and head flat to the ground and your arms at your sides or behind your head (ignore the second photo).
As the burn starts to creeps up on you wiggle your toes to distract yourself. This Pilates exercise is great for the inner thighs and lowers core.
Hold this pose for 90 seconds to 2 minutes or complete as part of the superset.
I dare you to complete this superset twice!

Oh, I need to start working out for real again. Those are great exercises – nice collection.
A word of caution: If you haven’t been working those muscle groups, maybe increase the reps over a few days. You want to be able to walk the next day (I speak from experience…)
