Cardio workout: 5 days a week
Quadriceps (front of thighs)
Challenge yourself: Point and flex the foot six to 10 times at the top of each rep to further target the front of your thighs.
Buttocks, inner thighs, and hamstrings (back of thighs)
Challenge yourself: From bent-knee position, keep lifted knee facing down, and perform small pulses with heel toward ceiling for a more intense buttocks and hamstrings workout.
Buttocks and hamstrings
Challenge yourself: Hold a five- to 10-pound dumbbell in front of body with both hands at hip level, then slightly raise the dumbbell in front of body to chest height as you squat to add resistance and an arm challenge.
Thighs and buttocks
