This takes less than 5 minutes a day, and you can have beautiful, sexy (or masculine) thighs.

Please rate and comment on this article. Thanks! :)

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A small area to work out in that's big enough for you to lay down.
  1. Step 1

    Start by stretching out your entire body. Other eHow articles can help you do this. Be sure to stretch until you feel tension in your muscles, not pain.

  2. Step 2

    While standing, with feet shoulder width apart and arms up by your ears, jump straight up. Look forward while doing it, and keep your entire body straight, don't lean forward!

  3. Step 3

    Immediately after you land, bend your knees until you are tucked into a ball on your feet with your arms still up.

  4. Step 4

    Slowly and gently, roll backward onto your curved back, lifting your legs straight up into the air. Once in this L position on your back, begin to roll back into the tucked position. When you get there, jump straight up again and repeat the whole process. With about 10 or 15 of these a day, you will see results.

Tips & Warnings
  • Take your time lowering yourself to the ground and standing back up. Not only will it keep you from losing your balance, you'll get more out of the stretch, too.
  • Start slow, and increase your speed as you get used to the motion.
