The best way to get the most from your workout is to vary your routine. This can involve changing the actual exercises you do from time to time, or changing the type of resistance you use. If you always do leg exercises with ankle weights or with the rubber bands, you may want to give this machine a try if you have it at your local gym. When doing these exercises it is best to hold on so you can focus on isolating the muscles instead of worrying about maintaining your balance.
Outer Thigh
1. Stand up straight with the strap fastened around your ankles.
2. Lift your right leg straight out to the side. Try to turn your foot so that the heel leads and the toes are slightly turned in. Make sure the toes do not point up. Just lift up until you feel the hip and outer thigh muscles contract. Be careful to not tip the body sideways as you lift.
3. Do eight to 12 repetitions. Then repeat with the left leg.
