Sleeker Thighs in One Month

1. Roundhouse Kick/Squat
Forget complex weight machines and endless leg lifts. To sculpt sleek, sexy thighs, you need to move in a new direction, says Violet Zaki, group fitness instructor at Equinox Fitness Club in New York City. Explosive, multidimensional exercises target your inner and outer thighs, quads, and hamstrings in one dynamic shot. Zaki's workout is a fusion of martial arts, yoga, dance, and strength training that can be done anywhere -- no equipment required! These moves demand focus and balance, engaging your core as well as your thighs.
Do this routine three or four times a week (12 to 15 reps and two or three sets per exercise, except where indicated) and you'll see stronger, slimmer thighs in four weeks. Now that's a kick.

12/13/2011 01:59:42 PM Report AbuseI love that the title implies a timeline (one month) and that I don't need to buy any equipment for the workout. The recommendations and cardio exercises at the end give the feel of a holistic workout and this approach motivates me to target my thighs holistically for one month. Thanks for a great, motivating piece!
