These beauties are a lovely exercise to do in the evening whilst watching TV. Here's how to do them:
1. Lie on your side, have one arm bent and resting underneath your head. Your other arm should be in front of your body palm facing down on the mat. Legs should both be straight, with your bottom leg touching the mat, and your top leg on top of your bottom leg.
2. Once in this position, bring your top leg up and down, in a slow, controlled manner. Don't forget to keep your tummy tight, and your body should be in a straight line.
3. Do 3 sets of 15 on one side, then swop over and do the other side, we don't want one hip more toned than the other ! :) And don't forget to breathe!!
These exercises work your abductor muscles, Gluteus Minimus, Gluteus Medius and TFL primarily. Therefore, you should feel these working all around your hip and bum.
Enjoy!!
Sorry I haven't been posting as much these days, I'm mega busy doing a Personal Trainer course with NCEF in Dublin most weekends, I'll soon be qualified! :) NCEF are affiliated with University of Limerick. The course is keeping me very busy with both practical work and theory, but it will be so worth it when I'm done! I am really loving it, I have gained a mountain of knowledge which I just can't wait to start sharing :)
After Christmas I'll be able to take on clients for personal training, and help them achieve their fitness goals, I just can't wait !!
