Today I want to share with you an awesome circuit to slim and trim your thighs. This workout focuses on the mind-muscle connection, proving that it doesn’t take much and it sure doesn’t take a gym to get those toned legs we are all after. A lot of the exercises used in this circuit are exercises I did as a little girl. I had a routine I would do every night before bed, and I still use some of the same moves in my home workouts. It’s fun to bring back these moves and see how they still help me tone and trim my lower body. I call several of these moves “ballet moves” because they are more about posture, pointing and putting your mind in your muscle with detailed movements. All you will need is a pair of dumbbells or push-up bars, if you have them. The key of this workout is really focusing less on weight and more on squeezing your quads and pointing your toes. Think “long and lean” with each rep. I hope you enjoy this circuit as much as I do.
