TONING!

Here are a few exercises that are used for toning purposes.

Hip & Outer Thigh Toners:
Lay on your left side with your legs straight out and toes pointed, so your body forms a straight 
line. Next, bend your left elbow and rest your upper body on your left forearm. Now, strech your 
right leg straight out in front of your body. Your left leg remains in its original position. Lift the 
right leg up and down slowly in front of you with your toes pointed. Lift the right leg 15 times. 
Complete a total of three repetitions of 15 lifts. Repeat entire process on the right side lifting 
the left leg. (do not lift any higher than 8-10 inches off the floor)

Inner Thigh Toners:
Start out on your left side, in the same position as mentioned in the Hip & Outer Thight Toners 
section. BUT, instead of stretching your right leg out in front of your body, cross your right leg 
over your left leg, placing your right foot flat on the floor. Your right knee should now be 
pointing straight up in the air. Now lift your left leg slowly to the height of your right knee and 
bring it down. Lift your left leg slowly, 15 times. Compleate a total of three repetitions of 15 lifts. 
Repeat entire process on the right side lifting your right leg.

Back of Thigh & Buttock:
WHile on the floor, position yourself on your hands and knees with your back straight. No arch. 
Extend your left leg up to the level of your buttock and slowly lower it down to the floor. Your leg 
should remain straight at all times with toes pointed. Do this to the count of 15. Compleate a total 
of three repetitions of 15. Repeat entire process using the right leg. (for added benefits, tighten 
or "squeeze" the muscles in your buttock when your leg is in the raised position.)
