Figure Exercises | Exercise for the Buttocks, Hips, and Thighs

Posted on 10 April 2009 by Heide Lynne Canlas

Have you always wanted to have a curvy, luscious figure? Have you always dreamed of having firmer and tighter hips, thighs, and buttocks? If yes, then you should try the following figure exercises!

The following exercises will surely tone down those fats in your lower body. Coupled with aerobic exercise and proper diet, these will trim your target flabby areas in no time. To be able to perform these figure exercises, you will need ankle weights, dumbbells, and a thick towel or blanket if you do not have exercise mats.


Exercise for the Thigh: Lifting Exercise

Focus on contracting the inner thigh in order to lift the whole leg off the floor. Remember not to lift your ankle or foot only. Do one to two sets of 10 repetitions for each leg for this exercise.

Exercise for the Hips: Lifting your Side Leg

In order to target the hip muscles, make sure that you keep your toes and knees facing forward instead of turned up to the ceiling. You don’t have to lift the leg very high. Execute one to two sets of 10 repetitions per leg.

Exercise for the Buttocks and Thighs: Dumbbell with Squats

This is just the regular squats but you ought to be holding dumbbells on each hand. Sit on an imaginary tool behind you – not as if kneeling down on a church’s pew. If the pressure is on your knees, your position is wrong. This means you are “kneeling” instead of “sitting”. The pressure should be felt in the front of your buttocks and thighs. Execute one to two sets of 12 repetitions.

Exercise for the Buttocks: Buttocks Bridge

Squeeze a small rubber ball between your knees for that added tightening in the inner thigh. Another option would be to keep your knees together. As you lift your hips and buttocks off the floor, press down on your heels, making sure your back is maintained straight. You should be feeling the pressure in the back of your thighs and buttocks. Try crossing one leg over the other as you get stronger so as to “bridge” with one leg only. Execute one to two sets of 10 repetitions per leg.
