Here are some toning exercises for you to do at home if you can’t make that gym/class session you had planned.  Make sure you have room to perform the exercises safely.  Loosen your joints and make sure you are warm before you start.  Stretch the muscles you have worked at the end of each session.

Leg Raises/ Lower Body Exercise

photo

Lay on your side with your underneath leg bent.

Make sure your hips are stacked one on top of the other. 

Extend the top leg straight out to the side in line with the body.

Tilt your toes to the floor and start to lift and lower your leg with a controlled action. 

Keep going with these at a pace you’re comfortable.

  You can mix up what you do with these, try some pulses, then slow the pace right down lifting the leg for 3 counts down for 1 count.
