Oh My Thighs! April: Monthly Fitness Calendar

[ 9 ] 03/31/2013 |

Our free monthly workout calendars have become a Sisterhood favorite. Each month, we focus on a specific area of our bodies and focus on toning, tightening, and building muscle. This month we are focusing on our thighs! Come May, your thighs will be looking fine, oh my! The goal of these monthly mini-workouts is to fit in quick, repetitive exercises that will leave you feeling confident and strong by the end of the month. These daily workouts can be tailored to your individual needs, as well as modified to your personal level of fitness. As always, we encourage you to focus on your form with each and every rep.

Now onto this month’s exercises (bom, bom, bom)… Remember to modify to your individual fitness needs.

In addition to this workout calendar, why not join us in running or walking the Foxy 5K/10K/Mile Virtual Race? In fact, since I love you all so much, I’m going to offer you a discount code if you register by the end of April! Enter code THIGHMASTER for a deal on registration!

SINGLE LEG CIRCLES:

  • Lie on your back with arms at sides, palms down.
  • Start by pointing with your left foot, as if reaching out with your toes toward the ceiling, and rotate your leg slightly outward.
  • Inhale, and trace a circle on the ceiling with your left leg, moving your whole leg, but keeping your hips still. Don’t lift your left hip off the floor.
  • Trace the circle on the ceiling 5 times in a clockwise direction. Repeat in a counter-clockwise direction
  • Switch legs.

    Super excited I found you guys! Love the idea of focusing on a certain area every month. When I saw your monthly calendars, I was a little disappointed I hadn’t found you earlier and started in January. I quickly realized though that it doesn’t matter when you start as long as you start. Excited to begin the April calendar and have killer thighs in time for swimsuit season!

    How many reps per leg for squat knees? Is it 5 total for each leg? 5 sets of 5 per leg? Thanks! :)

    so i’m super pumped about this but the wall sit kills me! I can only do about 20 seconds (at best) but I break it up and do this routine to warm up and then cool down, so I do it twice. here’s hoping it works!
