Leg Slimming Pilates Butt and Thigh Workout

[elisafim]

Can I do this everyday? :D

[FitnessBlender]

@elisafim You don't want to do the same routine over and over again forever or it will become less effective. You also don't want to work the same muscle groups over and over without giving them a chance to heal. If your muscles aren't sore, you can do this 4-5 times a week, but remember to train your upper body as well.

[LeFreakNina]

Oh, and I wanted to ask you something! I've heard that these type of exersises make your legs longer! Is this true? I just wanted the opinion of a pro!

[FitnessBlender]

@LeFreakNina No it wont make your limbs longer, though when they slim out it may give them the appearance of being longer. It wont necessarily make you taller, either but it could possibly improve your posture, which again would give you the appearance of being longer and leaner.

[LeFreakNina]

This is freaking amazing!!! Nicely explained & easy! I can feel my body being healthy again already! Woo hoo! Thanks so much for this!!!

[FitnessBlender]

@LeFreakNina Thank you! Keep it up and you're just going to feel better & better!

[missaysa]

I have become an absolute fan of fitnessblender ! Thanks you so much for posting this GREAT workout videos for free !!! I am looking for a Pilates workout video that only targets the outer thighs. Do you have that by any chance ? (the ones I've seen target both the buns and the thighs).

Thanks again ! Keep up the GREAT work !!!

[FitnessBlender]

@missaysa Always so excited to hear we've got a fan! I have been writing a routine for the outer thighs & it should be up in the next few weeks or so. If you follow us on Facebook, that's a really easy way to find out about the newest videos - or you can sign up for the free mailer on our website (we send out our newest videos 2x a month). Thanks you for sharing your ideas. - Kelli

[summerjewel63]

[FitnessBlender]

@summerjewel63 I'm glad you found us, too :) We have lots & lots of new workout videos on the way. Like I keep telling people; we will never let you get bored!! -Kelli

[cpujol113]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting all these wonderful videos for free! I just finished this video, and the Ab and Oblique video, and I feel absolutely amazing! I can't wait to do more tomorrow. You two are GREAT and Kelly you are my inspiration. Hopefully one day soon I will get rocking abs and booty like you =) Thank you again!

[FitnessBlender]

@cpujol113 You are so welcome. We are loving what we're doing & we're only going to make more & more workout videos for you guys. Cpujol, thanks so much for the awesome compliment, you make me blush (but that is SO motivating)!

[yezz999]

can i do this everyday from now? i hope my thigh will slim in 2 weeks :)

[asian2596]

hi! thanx for replying!! :) um, i was wondering if there are any results. i've seen other workouts and i don't know what to trust.......i was wondering if this works...

[FitnessBlender]

@asian2596 This works. The only variable in the equation is whether or not you do it!

[Msminniepc]

@FitnessBlender Thank you so much for answering. I wantched the other videos and I think they're good as well. Can I do the Booty Shaper Workout - Glute and Thigh Exercises for a Bigger Butt and this one in the same day? Do I have to do it everyday or rest one day in between?

[FitnessBlender]

@Msminniepc No problem! You could but if you're doing all three rounds, you might want to do them on different days, maybe switch back and forth between them. You could add in a 30 minute cardio session with each video instead of doing them both, or you could move onto a video that focuses on the upper body.

[Msminniepc]

Does this help to tone legs and butt? or is it to lose weight in those areas?, what would you recommend to start with if I want to tone my body and gain some muscle?

[FitnessBlender]

@Msminniepc You cannot lose weight in one area. This is for toning up the glutes and thighs. If you want to gain some muscle, check out the video we posted yesterday; the Booty Shaper for a Bigger Butt, or the Curvy Body Workout.

[angeICIA]

Please, Are these exercises for to lose weight on hips ? Do not add larger size to the legs ?

Sorry for my english

[FitnessBlender]

@angeICIA Hello! No, these exercises wont build size. They are great for slimming the thighs and hips, particularly when combined with cardio & healthy eating habits.

[juxaposed]

i've been a soccer player for my whole life, and now i'm quitting and i'm left with huge muscular thighs! i was wondering if there's any healthy way to slim them down to a normal size??

[FitnessBlender]

@juxaposed This would be a great workout for what your goals are. On the other hand, you should start doing what you can to appreciate your muscular thighs. There is this terrible mold that a very small portion of society wants to shove women into & it's typically way too thin & without any signs of strength...in reality, strength is beautiful & toned legs are far more attractive than sickly spindly ones. I'm done with my rant, long story short; try to love your strong, capable legs!

[juxaposed]

@FitnessBlender wow thank you very very much. i genuinely appreciate that actually. i will do my best to keep that in mind. thank you!! :')

[carzychickx]

do thy help get ride of of strech marks if so hw long till u see the changes? n i dnt want a saggy ass lol do these excerses help you not have 1?

[FitnessBlender]

@carzychickx Stretch marks are their own demon, but if you work to keep your weight stable (no massive gains or losses), they will fade over time. The good news is yes, this workout can definitely help with a saggy booty! I would also recommend our "Butt Lift" Workouts, Booty Boot Camp, & more (look on our website under "glutes" for more). Hope this helps!

[EqaSyuhada]

I have pear body curve. Is this exercise can help me to reduce fat at my thighs and butt?

[FitnessBlender]

@EqaSyuhada You can't lose fat in just one area, however, this routine can really help to tone that particular area. You have to reduce overall body fat % - for goals like yours I would recommend doing this video with one of our cardio videos, and eating a cleaner diet (if you aren't already).

[MsSama1996]

how much time will it take to get the result?

[FitnessBlender]

@MsSama1996 If you do this 4-5 times a week, you should start noticing a difference in 2 weeks or so. Remember to mix up your workouts though, to keep muscles guessing.

[withadistressedheart]

I just did this and the brazilian butt lift workout... OMG it killed me!! Ive been looking for a really good workout for awhile now. Im so glad I found this!

[TheThechika]

I have doin this workout now in 4 days ! and I will sure continue thank you so much I really like the model in the video she have nice shape not like tiny...

[TheThechika]

its hard thats the reason :(

[FitnessBlender]

@TheThechika It's okay, keep at it and it'll get easier. You know, "pain is weakness leaving your body", and all that jazz... just think of it as beating the crap out of your weakness ;)

[TheThechika]

everything in this video its awesome without flutter kick :PP

[FitnessBlender]

@TheThechika Those are great!! I wonder what about them you don't like? Sometimes when my hamstrings are tight it's hard to get a full range of motion.

[FitnessBlender]

@bubblepink100 Sorry I responded to the wrong person!! Thanks BubblePink :)

[jassi19995]

The pulses killed me ;D

[FitnessBlender]

@jassi19995 Yeah I hear you there! Have you tried our 10 min Butt & Thighs workout video? There are pulse lunges in that one & those are tough, too.

[TheThechika]

Thank you so much!

[Jskmo821]

I'm loving this! But I'm wondering if this a good video to do to work on inner thighs or is there a better one? That's where most of my fat seems to be and I've been having a hard time getting rid of it!

[FitnessBlender]

@Jskmo821 This does target the inside thigh but we actually have an entire workout video dedicated to this area; look under our website's Full Length Workout Videos (keyword: inner thigh) & you'll see it - it's free too :)

[loooooser7]

aww I like it <3

[ciotolinx]

YOU COULD MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO ELIMINATE AND FAT LOVE HANDLES ABS?

[FitnessBlender]

@ciotolinx Check out our 25 Minute Abs & Obliques Workout that targets that area.

[ivatattoo]

I think I already have muscular legs, if I do this exercises my legs will just become bigger :(

[FitnessBlender]

@ivatattoo Not necessarily. All of these exercises are toning focused & do not use much of the bodyweight (like a lunge does, as a contrasting example). And "muscular legs" are a good thing so don't get down on yourself.

[patcholie]

can u do an exersice targeting lower abs please?

[FitnessBlender]

@patcholie Sounds like a good idea to me :) Watch for it in the next 2-3 weeks, it's on the way.

[Spiral27]

Would this workout continue to help shape and tone even if it doesn't make you sore anymore? I've been doing it for about a week and it doesn't make me sore anymore and I was just wondering if it still works. Love this workout, thanks a lot!

[FitnessBlender]

@Spiral27 I would say that there is no harm or benefit lost in continuing to do this routine, but I would throw in some other stuff that works the same area in a different way. Good options would be the Brazilian Butt Lift, the "Butt Lifting Exercises" one, or even the 10 min Butt & Thighs. Keep those muscles guessing & you'll still get a little sore now and then (in a good way).

[Kuleceline10]

But, i clicked the link to see how many calories it burns, and i read like the information and stuff, but it doesn't say how many kcal... mind tellling me, i reallly want to know!

[FitnessBlender]

@Kuleceline10 Sorry about that, I had left the figures off of this one somehow! It's there now, thank you for pointing that out to me :)

[Kuleceline10]

@FitnessBlender thx :DD ur welcome

[yezz999]

can this make my thigh 42 cm? :O

[FitnessBlender]

@yezz999 There's no way that I can answer that without way more information. This routine will build lean muscle, which takes up less room that fat (and does not jiggle!). If you eat healthily & have a well rounded workout routine & ample cardio, you can slim down allover but you can't spot reduce (lose weight in just one area). Focus on being healthy, fit & strong & be happy with the strong thighs that result!

[yezz999]

@FitnessBlender sorry . but my thigh are 54 cm now and i want to reduce it to become 42 cm. can you suggest any exercise. i really need to burn my fat at my thigh! i have holiday with my friend. help me please :(

[VitaaminDee]

WIll this make my bum any bigger? or since this is a slimming routine, make it tinier? DX I read that if you work out the fast twitch fibers, itll make them grow... really, i just want a work out thatll help my bum get bigger. XD advice would be greatly appreciated!! :3

[FitnessBlender]

@VitaaminDee It wont necessarily make it "tinier", it's going to tone & tighten, which, depending on your current body type, could make for a smaller bum. If you want a bigger bum, try the 20 Minute Butt & Thigh Workout or one of the "butt lift" ones. Hope that helps.

[reasonablesacrifice]

This really beat the crap out off me! Thanks so much!! :)

[FitnessBlender]

@reasonablesacrifice Oddly enough, that's what we like to hear :)

[austynelizabeth]

Thanks! I'm so glad I found these!

[orewilliams56]

this is painful, but that means I can feel it working, thanks! :)

[FitnessBlender]

@orewilliams56 Very true! Push through it & you'll be glad you did.

[iamclassi]

how soon would i notice results by doing this once a day?

[FitnessBlender]

@iamclassi You can tell a difference in as little as 2 weeks with toning exercises like these. Remember, you need to mix up your workouts to keep them effective, and, you need to give muscles time to recover. I would recommend that you combine this with one of our cardio or jump roping routines, and maybe our upper body toning workout, too. -Kelli

[JordanCostanza]

I know the title suggests these exercises it's slimming, but I feel like my calves are bulky from an underlying layer of fat and the fact that I danced for 13 years, and I don't want them to get any bigger. Will these exercises burn the fat layer around my legs and possibly make my calf muscles slimmer? Thanks!

[FitnessBlender]

@JordanCostanza This routine would tone them (yes; possibly even slimming them), but it would not bulk them up. Remember that you can't reduce fat in one certain area without reducing your overall body fat.

[Trippy6Da]

This video is very helpful, it needs more views :o

[FitnessBlender]

@Trippy6Da Thanks Trippy. Help us spread the word; referrals from happy users is the best way to spread the word! :)

[TheSasanka]

Can I do this during the menstruation ?

[FitnessBlender]

@TheSasanka I don't see any reason why not. Sometimes exercise can even help out with cramps.

[Basoom83]

Just did this workout and omg my legs r burning ... Glad i pushed my self to finish it i was little sore from my last workout ....Do u have any warm up routine to do before starting the workout .... Happy new year for you guys and thanks for your great workouts

[FitnessBlender]

@Basoom83 Happy New Year to you, too! Yes, we have warm up workouts. I can't post links into comments but if you go our website, look under our library of "Full Length Workout Videos", and look for the "Total Body Warm Up Routine". We have a few different ones but that's definitely my favorite - it's even put my back back into alignment before. Try it, and let me know what you think. -Kelli

[Love99Yuh]

About when will you notice that you been working out?

[FitnessBlender]

@Love99Yuh It depends a lot on what your goals are and what results you're trying to see. For toning up (as you would doing the routine above), you should see a difference in as little as 2 weeks. I can't post links directly in a YT comment but check our website for the article titled "How long after working out do you see results - A breakdown by goal" under "articles" & "fitness" for more info. -Kelli

[Godjesus1234]

How often should I do this a week for it to take a noticeable effect?

[FitnessBlender]

@Godjesus1234 You can do this every other day, as long as those muscles aren't sore from a previous workout. If you want, you can always do upper body exercises on those leg "off" days. Go to our website & try the "20 Minute Home Upper Body Workout Routine" if you want an idea of an upper body routine that doesn't use much equipment at all. -K

[Cuhlaraa]

For the rear leg exercise, I've been doing something similar with the only difference being I'm on my palms instead of my elbows. Is there a particular difference?

[FitnessBlender]

@Cuhlaraa The biggest difference is that when you do it from your elbows, instead of from your palms, you get a bigger range of motion with the leg that you are raising and lowering. Try it both ways back to back & you'll probably notice that from your elbows you get around an additional 12 inches to that lower & lifting motion.

[Godjesus1234]

How long does it take for this workout to take a noticeable effect?

[xxmissbabybooxx]

is it normal for my hip to be making noises like its popping out during the flutter kicks?

[FitnessBlender]

@xxmissbabybooxx Yes that is normal. As your hip socket gets stronger it may go away and it may not. My husband has been teaching Mat Pilates for over 6 years and if there is a lull in the music you can hear his hips pop all the way across the room; especially when doing leg circles. There is no need to worry about that sound unless there is pain associated with it.

-Kelli

[xxmissbabybooxx]

Im about 113 lb and 5'2

Would it be less than 150?

Thanks for replying so quick ! :)

[FitnessBlender]

@xxmissbabybooxx Yeah you are probably looking at burning around 110 calories, then. If you want a higher calorie burn in a lower body workout, I would recommend checking out this workout of ours "Fitness Blender Butt & Thigh Workout - 20 Minute Bodyweight Workout", or maybe even the "100 Rep" one (sorry it doesn't let me include links!), just because the exercises are a bit more intense.

:) Kelli

[xxmissbabybooxx]

How many calories does this burn?

[FitnessBlender]

@xxmissbabybooxx The number of calories that you burn doing this routine depends on a lot of different variables, such as your bodyweight, muscle composition, gender & existing fitness level. But, I would estimate that a 140 lb woman would burn around 150 calories in this 18 minute routine. If you go to our website (FitnessBlender. com) & view the routines there, you can find out how many calories each workout burns. Thank you for your question!
