5 Short Lower Body Workouts
Body flexibility is something which should be maintained by every individual.
And flexibility of the lower body is very important to prevent injuries to any part of the body.
But in today's hectic schedule, no one really has the time to specifically perform exercises.
No one really understands how the 24 pass in the daily chore of activities.
And it is specifically for this reason that short, efficient and quick lower body workouts have been designed.
So let us have a quick look at a few of these workouts.
1.
First we look at Assisted Squat.
Wrap a towel around the doorknob of your bedroom and stand in front of it with your feet placed wide apart.
Now holding onto the towel, bend your knees and transfer all the body weight to the heels.
Bend till your lower butt is parallel to the floor and your toes are visible to you.
2.
Second, let us have a look at Front Lunge.
This workout can be done using weights as well.
Stand erect and then take a giant step forward with right leg and lower into lunge position.
Remember to keep your abs pushed in and knees of both the legs in a ninety degree angle.
After holding the position for 10 seconds, pick up the front leg and come back to the original position.
Repeat this with the other leg.
You can always use a chair for balancing purposes.
3.
Third comes the Inner Thigh.
For this, you have to lie sideways on the left with your hips completely stacked.
Now bring your right leg in front and bend the knees to make a ninety degree angle while touching your toes on the ground.
Now using your hand as balance, squeeze the left leg up, pulling inner thighs of both legs together.
Your heel, hip and knee should be positioned in proper alignment.
4.
Abdominals is another great way of increasing your overall flexibility of the body.
To practice Abdominals, stand erect with shoulder distance between your legs.
Place your palms on the small of your back.
Now lean backwards as much as possible by bending your hips.
5.
Last, we consider the Straight Hip Extensions.
To practice this workout, lie on the floor and take your abs in.
Now lift your leg up straight until it is perpendicular to the floor.
Hold the position for 5 seconds and then lower your leg without relaxing.
Thus, we have taken a brief look at five short lower body workouts.
Practicing these daily won't take more than 15-20 minutes of your time and these are very effective in the long run.
