WIDE-STANCE SQUAT

Stand with feet wider than your shoulders, arms out to your sides, toes turned out slightly. Bend knees and slowly sit back to lower your buttocks toward the floor, keeping your body weight over your heels. Your thighs should be as parallel to the floor as possible. Squeeze your buttocks as you straighten your legs to return to the starting position. Do 2 sets of 8 to 12 reps.

HAMSTRING CURL

In a standing position, slowly bend your left knee and extend your right leg behind you. Then slowly curl your right heel toward your buttocks. Be sure to keep your back straight, keep your abs tight and squeeze your buttocks together throughout the entire movement. Lower your right leg to the starting (straight leg) position. Do 2 sets of 8 to 12 reps on each side. Relax and repeat.

OUTER-THIGH TRIMMER

Lie on your right side. Your head, shoulders and hips should form one straight line. Bend your right leg behind you, placing your left hand on the floor in front of you for balance. Keeping your left leg straight and your foot relaxed, slowly raise your leg. Then lower it back to the floor. Do 2 sets of 8 to 12 reps, resting briefly in between sets. Switch sides and repeat.
