How Do You Do The Pilates Magic Circle Seated Inner Thigh Exercise?
The inner thighs are often an area that many women want to shape and tone. You can do floor leg lifts and standing exercises. However, you can also effectively target this area by sitting and using a Pilates Magic Circle. The Magic Circle provides resistance as you push the ends together and as you slowly release. Follow these steps to tone your thighs. Sit up straight in a sturdy chair with no arms. Sit up away from the back of the chair. Use your core muscles to help you sit up straight versus leaning against the back of the chair. Place the Magic Circle between your knees. Press your knees and the ends of the Magic Circle together as much as you can. Press evenly with both knees. Do not let the Magic Circle roll forward or backward. Slowly and with control, release the Magic Circle and return to the starting position. Avoid letting the resistance of the Magic Circle push your legs open. Control the movement at all times. Do eight to 12 repetitions.
