Want a perfectly proportioned body? So do I! But I'm not going to lie to you: No single exercise will completely erase the extra pounds on your lower body (you'll have to reduce overall body fat through diet, cardio workouts, and strength training for that). However, these moves will dramatically improve the look of your lower half by strengthening and firming your hips and outer thighs. For even faster results, strap on ankle weights (1 to 2 pounds each). So go ahead—get started with two sets of 12 to 15 reps on each side, two or three times a week, with a rest day in between.
1- Front-to-back hip swing:
A: Lie on your left side, hips stacked one on top of the other. Prop yourself on your left elbow and raise your right leg, toe pointed, to hip height.
B: Keeping your abs tight, sweep your right leg forward as far as you can without moving your hips or upper body. Then sweep your leg behind you as far as you can, squeezing your buttocks. Keep the movement controlled.
Don't...raise your leg too high or let your hips roll forward.
2- Side leg raise :
A: Position yourself sideways on your right knee and hand, with your left leg extended out to your side.
B: Keeping your abs tight, lift your left leg until it is parallel to the floor. Pause, lower, and then lift again.
Don't...let your upper body sink so your ears come toward your shoulders
Lie on your back with your right foot on the floor and your left ankle on your right thigh. Bring your right knee in toward your chest while gently pressing your left knee in the opposite direction. Hold for 20 seconds. Switch legs and repeat. Stretch daily.
