Medicine Balls Yield Speedier Results
But if you'd like to see results even faster, try adding using both a weighted medicine ball and a large stability ball to your leg and thigh exercise routine. The following exercise should be performed on a level carpeted or padded surface. Here's how:
Medicine Ball Exercise - Step One:
Kneel in front of a large stability ball. Using your right hand, place the small medicine ball behind your right knee, gripping the ball between your right hamstring and calf muscles.
This gripping of the medicine ball will help to intensify the exercise. Be careful to keep your heel pointed up toward your buttocks so the ball will stay in place. Lean your upper torso against the stability ball and place your hands flat on the floor to support yourself.
Medicine Ball Exercise Step Two:
Lift your leg as high as you can without dropping the ball from behind your knee. Hold it for 2 counts, then lower it.
Repeat these two motions 12 to 15 times. Switch legs and perform the exercise on the opposite side. Work up to 3 sets of 15 on each side, using the two fitness balls, and you'll be sporting tighter and sexier thighs sooner than you think!
