How Do You Tone Legs While Sitting?
• Do heel lifts to tone your ankles, calves and lower legs. • Sit with your back straight and position the balls of both feet on the floor in front of you. • Lift your heels from the ground while keeping your toes touching the ground. Hold for a few seconds then lower them and repeat. • Place a stack of magazines, some books, your heavy briefcase, or whatever you have handy on your lap to add resistance. • Increase the amount of weight and the number of repetitions when the exercise gets easy. • Try the same exercise in reverse, known as toe lifts. Keep your heels on the floor this time as you raise and lower your toes. • Tone your thighs with leg extensions. • Sit straight in your chair and extend both legs in front of you. Hold the extension for a few seconds then release and repeat. • Put your feet under the seat of the chair in front of you if you are doing these exercises in a theater, auditorium, while riding public transportation, or someplace else where there is a place to hook
