3 Minutes Before Sleep Simple Exercises To Slim Down Your Legs

2. Squats

A fairly common part of every workout, it is best to go for a deep squat if you wish to see great results. It will be difficult to get your buttocks to go below your knees but it will be worth it. They activate your glutes; make your ligaments stronger and your lower body more flexible. These two exercises require you to stand and that can be a slight turn off.
But there are workouts you can do just before going to sleep, and maybe even in bed. If you’re going all out and doing all of these exercises, do the aforementioned two in the beginning.

3. Oblique leg raises
This exercise can make you stronger because it activates a variety of muscles. It doesn’t look hard but if you don’t do it right, you can injure yourself. Ensure that one of your sides is touching the floor, especially your lower body. Your body should be in a straight line. Raise the leg on top at a 45 degree angle and bring it back down smoothly.

4. Inner thigh lifts
If you’re just trying to get toned legs, this is the right exercise for you. Lie down on your side with the leg at the bottom stretched out. Cross the upper leg over it and let either the foot or the knee come into contact with the floor. Don’t move your upper body and focus only on the inner thigh.

This exercise can be modified in a multitude of ways. You can raise the leg below while you are exhaling and bring it back to rest as you breathe in. You can even rotate that leg while it is raised. But stay steady throughout so that you don’t injure yourself.
