6 minutes a day to sculpt your thighs: a workout proposed on TikTok
We all know that there are physical activities that, involving the whole body, are able to keep one's various muscle groups in shape. But it is also true that, if you want to intervene on a specific point of your body, you must use targeted exercises.
For example, to tone and sculpt the thighs, you should choose exercises that put the quadriceps (and all the surrounding muscles) into action. Fortunately, these exercises do not necessarily have to be extremely demanding and tiring, nor do they have to take up too much time. In fact, from TikTok comes a workout that aims to sculpt the thighs with a succession of four simple exercises that use up only 6 minutes of dedicated activity per day.
Illustrating the exercises is Cassey Ho, who runs the popular fitness channel @blogilates on TikTok. The attraction of the type of exercises proposed by this woman lies in the fact that, in addition to being simple and fast, they do not require any special equipment (so they can be done easily at home). We all know that, with the right amount of willpower, this translates into total flexibility: if 6 minutes of daily exercise are really enough, this workout can be done at anytime in the day.
The woman exercises on a mat, to prevent slipping on the floor and getting hurt. For the rest, she just needs her body and comfortable clothes to start her workout.
The exercises to try are:
- Prisoner Stair Climbing: literally "the prisoner who climbs the stairs", because it is a movement that imitates the ascent of steps, but with the hands clasped behind the head. You start on your knees with your hands intertwined at the nape of your neck, then lift one leg and put your foot on the ground and then do it with the other, pulling yourself up as if to go up. She continues like this, getting back on her knees and going up again, for a minute.
- Side lunges: a classic exercise. You start standing with your hands in a prayer pose in front of your chest, and stretch one leg to the side, flexing the corresponding knee while the other leg is extended. Once back in the original position, you go back to sinking down on the same side. Again, one minute on each side.
- Front Lunge: In this exercise, the woman stands with one knee bent at 90 degrees and the other leg stretched back, her torso straight, her hands on her hips. Looking forward, she flexes her outstretched leg back so that it touches the knee to the ground and straightens it. 1 minute for each side.
- Leaning Camel: The last minute of the series will initially have you on your knees on the mat, with your buttocks resting on your heels. From this position you rise slightly, always keeping your arms straight in front of you.
This seems complicated describe in writing, but by watching the video you will realize that they are very simple exercises, (but capable of burning calories and toning the right muscles). It will be 6 intense minutes, but it is also ok to reduce the speed or duration of each exercise - especially at the beginning - to find your rhythm and not getting discouraged. And with a little consistency, you will end up with great results.
