Want higher thighs? This time, we’re challenging you with
lunges.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: KNEE NOTE: If you’re a little weak in the knees, try lunging on a step, so your front foot is elevated. And don’t let your knee go further forward than your ankle when you’re in the bottom-most spot of the lunge, as it can add additional pressure to your kneecap.
Start on Sunday, with 25 lunges on each leg. (Do 10, then switch legs, then rest. Then 10 more, switch legs, then rest. Then 5, switch legs and rest).
Recover on Monday (with a brisk 2 mile walk in your FitFlops).
On Tuesday , try for 15 lunges on each leg, switching legs so you work
each for four sets. That’s 60 lunges on each leg.
Rest Wednesday, with a brisk 3 mile walk in your FitFlops, and three sets of ten push ups (against a wall first, then on your knees, then full fledged, if you’re fit enough!)
On Thursday, go for four sets of 20 lunges on each leg, with just as much resting between as you feel is necessary. Don’t forget: If you can’t quite make it, 5 on each leg is better than nothing, and you can always work up to 10, then 15 then twenty! Some is always better than none!
On Friday, find 50 steps to climb in your FitFlops. (Or 100, if you’re feeling superfit.) Squeeze your bottom muscles as you push off your front leg.
Take Saturday off to congratulate yourself (of course, at all costs, avoiding your sofa).
