Climbing stairs & lunges
3. Climbing stairs
Loads of celebs swear by their Stairmaster exercise equipment to help them tone their legs but you don't need to fork out loads to stay in shape.
Walking up stairs, especially if they're steep, can really help tone the muscles at the back of the thighs so try to do it for 10 minutes every day. Yes, you might feel silly but think of your skinny thighs! Alternate your steps by taking two steps at a time.
And of course, walk up the escalators rather than ride them and use the stairs instead of the lift.
4. Lunges
Lunges are great for the thighs, calves and bum, but you need to do 12 repetitions each day to get a good workout.- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart with your hands on your hips for balance.
- Take a big stride forward and bend both knees so you're lowering yourself to the ground.
- Hold yourself in that position for a few seconds, holding in your tummy, buttocks and keeping your back straight.
- Return to the starting position and lunge with the other leg forward.
