3 Minutes Before Sleep: Simple Exercises to Slim Down Your Legs

Fitness coaches say that the most important thing about working out is persistence. However, let’s be honest with ourselves: daily exercise is not the most exciting thing to do.

It’s easier to strive for the perfect shapes with due diligence if you know that your exercises won’t take a lot of time.

A short set developed by the famous American celebrity coach Tracy Anderson helps to eliminate “fat deposits” on the knees and hips that can appear even in slender people. Let’s work out the front, back, and inner thigh surface and get thinner with the help of short exercises.

Don’t forget about the bonus at the end of the article: how to make your legs feel less tired and puffy.

Bonus

One of the biggest advantages of this set of exercises is that it can be very useful for those who suffer from swollen legs and varices.

But there is a way to get rid of swelling, pain, and the feeling of tiredness in the legs if those are caused not by a disease but by an unhealthy mode of living, such as sedentary work, the wrong shoes, or a lack of physical activity.

Specialists suggest 3 simple rules:

  1. Walking. It might seem strange, but the more you walk the less your legs swell and become painful. The most important condition is comfortable footwear. An optimal amount of walking is 30-60 minutes 3 times a week. In order to speed up blood flow, walk for 10 minutes every 2 hours.
  2. Exercise for the ankles. Every time you remember this, bend your ankles for 20-30 times, pulling your toes toward and away from your body. This exercise improves blood circulation and helps to remove excess liquid.
  3. If you like fitness, go for swimming or water aerobics. “Struggling” against water pressure helps to improve water and blood flow in the limbs.
