Great news for attacking those stubborn outer thighs—one of the most effective thigh exercises is quick and simple! Standing leg raises.
Facing a wall and standing tall, place your hands on the wall for balance. Slowly raise your right leg out to the side, pause, and slowly lower.
Do 15 reps with your right leg and repeat on your left. Rest 45 seconds and start the set again.
For an added challenge, increase the number of sets. Or add leg weights.
Be sure to keep your supporting leg slightly bent—don’t lock your knee. Keep the movement slow, as you don’t want momentum to be doing the work for you. This exercise can also be completed by holding onto a chair for balance, or, if your abs are strong, tighten your core and do this exercise without support.
