tighter thighs with this move


Stiff-leg deadlifts


Target Muscles: hamstringsSynergist Muscles: gluteus maximus, adductor magnus


Set Up: Stand with your feet closer than hip width apart holding a barbell with an overhand grip

(A).
Action: Without rounding your back, lower the weight towards the ground by hinging forward at the hips. Hold at the bottom to get a little stretch in your hamstrings (B) then squeeze your glutes and stand up. Repeat. Keep a slight bend in your knees throughout the movement.


You probaly rarely ever see a lady do this move at the local gym but this should really be a female favorite if they want to get into those dream pair of jeans again:) Very good for lower back health as well if you sit at a desk all day for work. start doing this move and your legs well love you for it
