7 Most Effective Body Firming Exercises

Are you anxious to find the best way to get in shape, tone your muscles, and get rid of that extra flab?  When you use these 7 most effective body firming exercises you will get that  tightly toned physique that most people only dream about.

• Thigh Toning Titan -Tones and Trims those thighs when nothing else will work. This is an isometric exercise that tames and tightens your thighs even if you already are seeing the dreaded condition known as "Thunder Thighs". You will need a bar stool or straight chair with straight legs. Sit on the floor with your back against a wall. The stool should be positioned between your feet. Lift your legs and feet 4-6 inches from the floor. Angle your feet so your insteps are firmly positioned against the legs of the stool. Now exert as much pressure with your feet as possible. Hold for a count of 30- 60. Repeat 6 times.
• Jack-ass Kicks - Kick your way to a better, booty-licious backside. Well, the name may not sound that impressive but if you want that perfectly round, tight booty this is the exercise that works. Assume a hands and knees position. Your palms should be resting on the floor. Keep your back straight. Now lift your (R( leg up and backwards with a tightly controlled kicking motion. When your leg is fully extended upward the bottom of the foot points toward the ceiling. Return to the starting position and then repeat with the other leg for a total of 25-50 for each leg.
• Saddle Bag Stripper - This exercise will target the upper, outer thighs. You know those unsightly lumps that you can see protruding on the outer sides of your thighs just at the juncture of the butt and thigh have got to go. Lay on your (R) side, supporting your upper body at a 45 degree angle with your elbow. Keep (R) leg straight and place your (L) foot flat on the floor directly in front of the (R) knee. Now lift your (R) leg slowly up and down 25 times. Change position and repeat with the (L) leg.
• Glute Glamourizer - This will firm and lift your butt and tone your legs. Stand with feet separated about the width of your shoulders. Your toes should be angled outward. Put your hands on your hips and rise up on your toes. Staying balanced on your toes, lower your body 1" and hold for the count of 10. Lower your body an additional 1" and hold for the count of 10. Continue to lower your body by 1" and holding for 10 for a total of 10 times.
• Lean Leggy Peggies - This exercise gives you leaner, tighter legs. Place your hands on the back of a chair for balance. Keep your body erect and feet slightly apart. Toes should pointed inward. Lift (R) leg slowly 4-6 inches straight out to the side. Do 25 reps and then repeat using (L) leg.
• Tricep Trainers - Get rid of underarm flab quickly. Stand erect holding 3# weights. Lift your arms straight up overhead. Your arms should be alongside your head. Slowly extend the weights backward over your shoulders until elbows point to the ceiling. Return to starting position repeat 30 times.
• Belly Bustin' Berthas - These crunches rule. Lie flat floor hands behind the neck. Pull your abdomen in and roll your upper chest upward from the floor. Twist your torso from the waist so the (R) elbow points toward the (L) knee and the (L) elbow points toward the (R) knee. Return to starting position. Do 20 reps.
