12 abdominal legs buttocks exercises with armchair

1. step-up on an armchair

Step up with armchair

 

This exercise is also still Stair climber called. Here it is especially important that your chair has enough stability to not sway during the up and down movements.

  • Stand upright in front of your chair with your feet hip-width apart.
  • Tighten your abdominal muscles and stand up straight.
  • Then place one leg on the stool at a right angle and press up over the leg that is on the stool.
  • The standing leg remains straight and supports the leg standing on the stool as little as possible.
  • Then do this exercise sideways, so that both legs are trained.

Difficulty: medium
Trained muscles: Especially the thigh muscle and the large gluteal muscle are trained here.

2. exercise for buttocks and back of thighs

Pelvic lift exercise with chair

 

  • Here you lie comfortably on your back and place your feet on the edge of the chair.
  • Then, using only the strength of your butt and legs, lift your butt a few inches off the floor.
  • Hold the tension for at least 3 seconds.
  • The more often you do this, the longer you can hold the tension.
  • Here you need to pay special attention to tighten the abdominal muscles and keep the body straight. If the chair is too high to start with, you can also use a flatter stool, etc.

Difficulty: medium
Trained muscles: Of course, the large gluteal muscle is also trained here plus the back of the thigh.

3rd exercise for thighs and buttocks: stair climbing

Climbing stairs for crisp thighs

 

If you don't have a chair that is stable enough to withstand the first exercise, you can easily use your stairs as an exercise tool.

  • The exercise is quite simple: depending on your physical condition, you walk up the stairs a little faster than normal, with springy steps or you jog up your stairs.
  • When you get to the top, go back down normally so you don't hurt yourself and start all over again.

Difficulty: light
Trained muscles: Calves, thigh muscles and buttocks

4. second exercise for buttocks and back of thighs

Leg stretch with armchair

 

One of the best exercises for a crisp butt and toned thighs!

  • Then lift the right leg (extended and as straight as possible) until it forms a straight line with the back.
  • But again, if this hurts you then only lift your leg as far as you can.
  • Important in this exercise, your back must be straight and the leg must not get higher than on a straight line with the back.
