Thighs are often a source of insecurity for many women. Looking for ways to firm up your thighs? Toning and strengthening your thighs is possible with a range of targeted exercises that work the whole area in depth. Discover the 3 best exercises to sculpt your legs (squats, an inner-thigh exercise for the adductors and the bridge for your hamstrings), plus our tips for organising your workouts at home!
3 strength training exercises to tone your thighs
Strength training is essential for toning your thighs: you can do your sessions at home, 3 times a week, with a rest day between each session. Alternate the exercises for at least 30 minutes. And remember to use your CelluBlue cup every day alongside your workouts, as part of your skincare routine!
Exercise #1: To work the quadriceps
These muscles are located on the front of your thighs: so they definitely deserve some attention. To target this area and also engage your glutes, go for squats! Stand tall with your back straight, feet wider than hip-width apart, and extend your arms in front of you. Lower down until your knees form a right angle, then push back up quickly, squeezing your glutes and thighs.
Do two sets of 25 squats, then gradually increase the number as your sessions progress!
Exercise #2: To work the adductors
The adductors are located on the inner thighs… which is exactly why it’s worth working them to target this area, alongside other cellulite solutions! The exercise is very simple but takes real focus to hold the position at first. Stand with your hands on your hips, then step your feet wide apart, turning your toes outwards. Then simply bend your knees to lower down until they form a right angle. Squeeze your glutes and thighs, then rise back up slowly.
The cooling gel that leaves thigh skin firmer
- Immediate cooling effect: menthol kicks in as soon as it is applied, then skin is firmer under your fingers (keep the gel in the fridge for even more intensity)
- Caffeine & Lipothetic®, a patented active ingredient, at the heart of a formula designed for thighs and buttocks
- Sorbet texture: it absorbs faster and makes the feeling of freshness last longer
Start with 4 sets of 15!
Exercise #3: To work the hamstrings
Finish strong! The hamstrings run along the back of the thighs: they’re what give your legs their shape and curve. To strengthen them effectively, try the bridge! Lie down and bend your knees, drawing your feet toward you. Then lift your hips upward, squeezing your glutes, thighs and core. Push up high! Drive through your heels. Then lower back down slowly. You can place a weight across your core to increase the intensity of the exercise.
