If you’re craving thinner, sexier legs, try the Second Position Thigh Strengthener from the new video Exhale Core Fusion Body Sculpt ($15) by Exhale Spa founders Elisabeth Halfpapp and Fred DeVito.
Hold on to the back of a chair or a countertop and stand in a wide stance, feet turned out. Bend your knees, and lower into a deep plié. (Don’t let your knees go past your toes.) Pulse up and down (about 2 inches) 10 times. Remain in the deep plié and do 10 pelvic tilts, tucking the pelvis under and then back. Staying in the plié with pelvis tucked, start to press your thighs back and then release. Do this 10 times, too. Do these moves 2–3 times a week, and you should see results in 3 weeks.

This is a great little exercise. I’m on my first week and I combine this with the bikini-body countdown workout from Shape and I feel like I am already seeing results! Thanks for sharing!!!
doesn’t body fat composition stay the same? so that exercise focused on one particular area would help fat loss overall but not especially in that area. perhaps the change seen results from having stronger thigh muscles.
I do cardio and a wide range of toning and weight training. I can definitely see more muscle definition in my thighs! I have been working out “religiously” for 5 years now and I can tell that this particular workout is doing something special!
Thanks for this! I am on my second time in the first week doing this move, plus the “Get Gorgeous Legs” workout. Now I just have to wait three more weeks and see what happens!
