Ladies, sitting or lying down for too long each day can cause the muscles in your thighs and buttocks to become loose, making it easier for fat to accumulate in your legs. Simply doing yoga or regular exercise may not be enough to tighten your muscles and achieve slim legs. Using dumbbells or other resistance training equipment at the gym can help, but it can also stimulate muscle growth.
In fact, the muscles in your thighs, calves, and buttocks are the strongest and most powerful muscles in your body. Doing appropriate stretching exercises can give you great results in achieving long and toned legs.
