The Easy Yoga Move That Will Transform Your Thighs

Yesterday we tackled the butt. Today? The thighs! Gals, here's a move that will help sculpt your thighs ...

Now, I'm convinced that there's nothing like running to sculpt your legs into submission (it's starting to work for me). But, when you can't get on the treadmill or out for a run, you can tone your thighs with the simple yoga pose called "chair pose," according to Health's Sara Ivenhoe.

"The best upper-leg-sculpting secret I know is Chair Pose," writes Sara. "By squeezing your legs together and then lowering your hips to almost knee level, you can quickly strengthen and firm your thighs, front and back. Do this quick pose at least 4 times a week (every day is even better), and you should see results in about 3 weeks.

How to: Stand with feet together and hands on hips. Begin to bend your knees as if sitting in a chair, moving your hips back; your torso will tilt slightly forward. Keep bending your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor (or as close as you can get). Stabilize your back by drawing your belly in and tailbone down; relax your shoulders. If comfortable, increase the challenge by raising your arms until they are in line with your ears, keeping your shoulders relaxed and jaw soft. Hold for 5-15 breaths, then return to standing. Repeat up to 3 times.
