10-Minute Thigh Workout to Boost Your Energy
You should train your lower body regularly if you want to build muscle fast. Your glutes are the biggest muscle in the body and your legs are the biggest muscle group.
This workout won’t just tone your thighs. It targets all the lower body muscles including the calves and glutes.
After a few workouts, your cardiovascular endurance will improve since you’re only allowed to rest for 10 seconds between sets.
Do each exercise for 50 seconds then rest for 10 seconds and then start the next exercise. You need to do the workout twice for it to total to 10 minutes.
Reverse lunges with front kick
Reverse lunges are easy on your knees. They mainly activate the quads, hamstrings and glutes.
How to perform: Stand upright and keep your feet hip-width apart.
Stride back with the left leg and then lower yourself until the left knee almost touches the floor as you simultaneously bend the right knee.
Quickly rise and then kick the left foot forward.
Return it back to the lunge position and complete reps for the left leg before alternating.
Do this exercise for 25 seconds for each leg.
Deep sumo squat
The deep sumo squat activates your glutes more than regular squats.
How to perform:
Stand upright and keep your feet wide apart with your toes facing sideways.
Lying side leg raises
This exercise is great for strengthening the outer thigh muscles, which are usually ignored.
How to perform:
Lie down sideways on a comfortable surface. Rest your head on the bottom arm and keep your legs stacked.
Single leg dead lifts
You want to start your day with this exercise since it helps loosen and strengthen the hamstrings. For most people, these muscles are tight due to long hours of sitting.
